LOCATION:Band on the wall Live Room
DESCRIPTION:Joe Wilson and Tom Kingston don’t draw a line between the music they make as a band and the scores they compose for film and TV. Or if they do\, it’s a faint one. As Solomon Grey\, the classically-trained long-time friends have a sensual\, cinematic sound that is their calling card for both\, a beguiling blend of synths and orchestration that can evoke any emotion\, capture tiny moments in time and summon scenes both real and imagined.
 
 Fresh from their latest big-budget\, TV-screen success as composers of the soundtrack to BBC One’s The Last Post - Peter Moffat’s lavish\, six-part\, 1960s-set drama - Solomon Grey are back being a band\, but only their focus has shifted. Human Music\, their second album\, is as powerful and ambitious\, as visual and visceral as their sought-after soundtrack work.
 
 Sonically\, there are parallels between Human Music and The Last Post score. The same 22-piece\, Hungary-based orchestra played on both. A vintage CS-80 synthesiser was central to the two. The dynamic Clouds appears on both\, albeit in different versions with diverse purposes. Experiences from each influenced the other - not surprising as they were written at the same time\, with Solomon Grey sometimes switching between the projects on a week-to-week or even day-to-day basis.
 
 This is a seated show.
