Surprise Chef – Frogs In A Pond, Vinyl LP

Surprise Chef – Frogs In A Pond, Vinyl LP

The album was recorded over a 9 day period during which the band were themselves Frogs In A Pond: slimy companions splashing about in a small but complex ecosystem, for a brief time having little interaction with or knowledge of the world outside our tiny realm.

The composition of the music was intended to utilize techniques inspired by approaches in film scores: principally, the repetition and interpolation of musical themes used to represent concepts, moods and feelings across the album

The musical influence for the album came primarily from a handful of European film composers working in the late 60s and early 70s who used drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion and vibraphone rather than large orchestras to express musical themes that evoke enthralling senses of drama and emotion without the listener having watched the film for which the music was composed.

Black vinyl edition.
