about

Open Air is an instrumental collaboration between double bassist Keith Lowe (David Sylvain, Harold Budd, Brad) and keyboardist / producer Peter Chilvers (Brian Eno, Karl Hyde, Tim Bowness).

"This began with a video Keith posted on Facebook, improvising bass in his garden one morning, with the sound of birdsong, wind and running water around him. I couldn't resist sampling it, shaping it into a song and playing over it. The rest of the EP felt like opening out Russian dolls - I sampled and treated sounds from the first track to create a strangely alien soundcape which we both then played over. I created sampler instruments from Keith's bass and cello, and played the final track. It's been a very organic and enjoyable way of making music." Peter Chilvers, May 2023
