Now Origamibiro with cracked mirrors and stopped clocks who is Tom Hill of electronica duo Wauvenfold fame. A delicate emotive crisp body of music which focus's around the classical guitar. From the Philip Glass corner of composition it builds and loops like a hundred music boxes set off at the same time all underpinned with electronic beats and cut ups. Occasional spoken words and field recordings add to the rhythmical nature of the whole sound. At time it goes very Caribbean beach at dusk mood too (Phil thinks holiday program with Judith Chalmers). If you've got a moment to spare in your busy lives take a break with this album and give a big derisory f*ck you all those ignoramus's on the outside of your earphones. On Expanding records.

What their label says...

‘Cracked Mirrors And Stopped Clocks’ is the debut album by Tom Hill as Origamibiro. Formerly of the acclaimed electronica duo Wauvenfold, Tom has released material on Wichita and performed a number of live shows under his solo alias, Penfold Plum. His debut for Expanding finds him shifting away from his often kooky, beat-driven method of melodic sound-design to sculpt an album of interlacing classical guitar-part harmonies and textural samples, including the creaks of chairs and all the knocks, scrapes, bumps and other sonic by-products that resonate from the physicality of a wooden instrument. The result is an intimate and delicate, broken, organic sound that is both hauntingly vivid and atmospheric, whilst managing to retain some of those glitchy electronic characteristics that earned Wauvenfold their sturdy reputation among the likes of Björk, Super Furry Animals, and the mighty John Peel himself.
