Twilight Archive
Fermenting in the primordial desert broth of Southwestern California, "Twilight Archive" is a departure even for the adventurous creators whose experience span years in the international music scene. Heard on innumerable soundtracks, albums, commercials, and television scores, Chris Mancinelli and Tom Vedvik join forces again for their second collaboration.
Their individual work has included artists as diverse as Nels Cline, Dr. John, Michael Penn, Kevin Eubanks, Garth Hudson (The Band), Osamu Kitajima and Hans Zimmer - with recent film work on Michael Mann''s "Ali" (starring Will Smith). "Pirates of the Caribbean" (starring Johnny Depp) and "The Ring." The duo helps redefine the term "eclectic" as is proven by their wide ranging experience.
This time the textures lean toward the darker side and the foundation is formed by sophisticated down tempo beats. Deep basses anchor the haunting melodies and the stirring sound designs are the heart of the compositions. Evocative, suggestive, and creating a distinct sense of place, the music blends improvisations with worldly writing and producing skills. This album could easily be the underscore to a movie not yet filmed.
Working in the electronic medium, the moody down-tempo music of "Twilight Archive" was initiated by producer/composer Chris Mancinelli in early 2003. "I had been wanting to do something in the ambient/soundscape style, but with more edge to the sound and some melodic themes." Chris says. "I prefer to get sketches going and then the pieces usually write themselves. Fortunately this was the case this time and I was really pleased with the way things were going. However, I didn''t want to get too obsessive with the tracks. That''s when I thought it would be a great idea to bring Tom in to do the mixes and to add or subtract ideas he felt appropriate. His being objective to the project after I''d worked for a few months proved to be the perfect way to complete the album."
