David Sylvian – Manafon

David Sylvian describes his second solo album for his own Samadhisound label as being: ‘A modern kind of chamber music. Intimate, dynamic, emotive, democratic, economical’. Recorded in London, Vienna and Tokyo, the songs on the album bring together ‘the world’s leading improvisors, and innovators, artists who explore free improvisation, space-specific performance and live electronics’, including Evan Parker, Keith Rowe, Christian Fennesz, Sachiko M, Otomo Yoshihide, John Tilbury and members of Polwechsel.
