A SWEET NICHE (current)
keir cooper, OLIVER SELLWOOD & tim doyle
|
A Sweet Niche are a jazz/punk trio & the 2 core writers, Keir and Oliver Sellwood have been playing together 16 years, exploring an aesthetic of intricate rhythms & song-structures within a punchy energetic rock band. The nature of their collaboration is unique; Keir as an award-winning non-academy artist and Oliver is an award-winning PhD composer and academic. Despite their two tangential angles of experience, they have a shared musical vocabulary honed over nearly two decades.
‘seriously impressive in its scope & virtuosity’ - Cognitive Dissonance ‘the discipline that they display is reminiscent of avant jazz rock outfits such as Zu & Zs… Every song is almost bipolar in its construction, yet A Sweet Niche’s vision is transmitted with sparkling clarity.’ – Echoes & Dust. The material is a radical proposition. EYE MUSIC II received Best Albums 2012 from Steve Davis (snooker champion / PHOENIX FM), London music promoters Chaos Theory, & Reviewer Oliver Arditi. They are currently working on a new album of work: EJECT, with Tim Doyle on drums. EJECT will utilise a range of collaborators and instrumentalists performing and writing with the trio.
