LALLY, RUPERT
BEYOND THE NIGHT (SUBEXOTIC)
Conceived as a form of sonic road movie, beginning at dusk and ending at dawn the following day, Rupert Lally's aural accompaniment to the hours of darkness effortlessly combines electronica, industrial, contemporary classical and jazz, with the resulting mix sounding akin to a soundtrack to a Wim Wenders film if composed by Jan Garbarek, Carl Craig and Max Richter.
Hailing originally from England but now based in Switzerland, guitarist, percussionist and electronic musician Rupert Lally began his career as a sound designer and composer for theatre and TV, before launching his solo career in 2005.
Since then his releases have blurred the boundaries between electronic and acoustic music.
Lally's consistently brilliant work is always a highlight of the electronic music calendar, including recent stellar works across many labels such as Spun Out Of Control, Third Kind, Woodford Halse, and Modern Aviation.
