Story of the music- alyce platt/beautiful death

Beautiful Death is a collection of song's FROM the past seven years. This recording bega in April 2003 with J.P.Shilo and Glenn Lewis at 'The Ormond Estate'. In April 2002 Alyce performed at a benefit for the Dalai Lama with J.P.Shilo and Kathryn Mckee. As a result of that performance they recorded, 'Still the mind' , which was the catalyst for this ALBUM.

The music originates from folk and evolves into an organic sound scape of gnarly guitars, lush string orchestrations and loose hypnotic beats. *A truly exciting and challenging musical collaboration. An intriguing journey that creeps up on you and goes places you least expect.

ALYCE PLATT- BEAUTIFUL
DEATH

I am genuinely shocked. A cut and spliced mix of Portishead/Kate Bush and some enormous
audio explosions that one would not have thought likely to appear
on the CD of an ex-Sale of the Century gift shop presenter…. like I said…. Shocked!

ALYCE PLATT - BEAUTIFUL DEATH Album 01 May 2004
One of the year's most pleasant surprises. A captivating album from former Sale Of The Century co-host Alyce Platt.It's taken her a while - she left Sale 12 years ago - but Beautiful Death shows that Platt has plenty to offer musically.Produced by J.P Shilo (ex-Hungry Ghosts) and Glenn Lewis (Violetine), the album is a true sonic journey. Eight enticing tracks that reveal their secrets and mysteries with repeated play. There's nothing really "pop" here - these are atmospheric dreamscapes - but the patient listener will be rewarded.Listen without prejudice because this is a compelling song cycle that sucks you in with its gentle power. (Sound Vault Records)
