{"product_id":"vertical-land-vinyl","title":"Vertical Land [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"redeye-blurb\"\u003eMulti-instrumentalist and composer David John Sheppard - writer and orchestrator behind the acclaimed State River Widening, Ellis Island Sound, Snow Palms and Leaf recording artists Phelan\/Sheppard, ‘Vertical Land’ is Sheppard’s first bona fide solo album. Tracks were begun percussively by inserting pencils into guitars to make false bridges, then hammering the strings with vibraphone mallets, or by applying layers of masking tape to the strings of an upright piano in order to create a raw percussive instrument. Marimbas, glockenspiels and mountain dulcimers were all attacked with a similar sense of primal reflex until the compositions were gradually built up, only to be stripped back down again in a very painterly process, to reveal new forms, combinations and colours. For fans of Cinematic Orchestra, Tortoise, Steve Reich and Phillip Glass.\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \u003cul\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e David Sheppard\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Village Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1LP w\/DL – 180g black vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015-06-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"David Sheppard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62828617236561,"sku":"5051083088466","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/201374738948.jpg?v=1791334992","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/es\/products\/vertical-land-vinyl","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
