Originally from the UK, Paul Bradley is a musician who creates textural drones to
re-describe the sonic landscape. Sounds are abstracted from life, reinterpreted and given a new context. Instruments, most notably guitar, are disembodied and twisted into new sound-worlds creating rich, sonorous organic abstractions. Concepts are rarely made explicit or even discussed under the belief that language would destroy the un-temporal and emotional aspects of the work.
Releases have been issued on a number of labels including ICR (UK), Alluvial Recordings (USA), Shining Day (PL), Small Voices (IT), Con-v (ES) and also on his own label Twenty Hertz. Collaborations have been plentiful working with contemporaries such as Colin Potter, Maile Colbert, Andrew Liles and also as a recent member of Monos. As well as being issued on CD these “sensual strung-out vibrations” have been shown and performed both solo and in collaboration in the UK, Spain, Portugal and the USA.
Paul also runs Twenty Hertz and Edition Sonoro issuing recordings from the likes of Ubeboet, Keith Berry and Jgrzinich and also co-organised a series of live events entitled Intergration which included artists such as Keith Rowe, Andrew Chalk, Jonathan Coleclough and Scribble Seven (aka Nurse With Wound).
Review quotes:
“(Liquid Sunset) is an absolutely beautiful piece. Let there be no mistake about it.”
Vital Weekly
“As if watching a highway glowing in the burning sun, the flickering heat radiated by these tracks turns into a sensation of its own, morphing and loosing its form…”
Tokafi
“…some of the most spellbinding electronic works of the last decade.”
Touching Extremes

És un compositor del Regne Unit que captura gravacions de nombroses fonts i les transforma en música sonora. Explorant els diferents detalls d’aquests sons, la música resultant sovint és llunyana a la font original, però tot i així conserva certa essència natural i humana.
Ha grabat diversos discos, amb collaboradors com Maja Elliott (Current 93), Colin Potter, Andrew Liles, Monos, Darren Tate i David Wells. També ha treballat amb les discogràfiques Plinkity Plonk, Alluvial Recordings i ICR, Paul runs 'Twenty Hertz'. A més, gestiona el segell d’edició sonora que arrancà el passat mes de gener.

Paul Bradley es un músico británico que crea tapices con testuras de vibraciones para describir el paisaje sonoro. Los sonidos se abstraen de la vida, son reinterpretados y se les otorga un nuevo contexto. Los instrumentos, sobre la guitarra, son decorporalizados, agitados y mezclados formando nuevos 'mundos sonoros' los cuales, juntos, se transforan en música rica, fludia y sonora. Estas 'vibraciones sensuales y nerviosas' ensamblan lo digital con lo analógico y a la fonografía con las disciplinas instrumentales creando una abstracción orgánica del sonido. El resultado final suele dar la impresión del tiempo fluido, cuyos límites simplemente están ahí para traspasarlos.
Ha Colaborado con multitud de artistas: contemporáneos como Colin Potter, Jonathan Coleclough, Andrew Liles y también como miembro de Monos.
Bradley también trabaja para los sellos 'Twenty Hertz' y 'edition sonoro' publicando discos del tipo de Ubeboet, Keith Berry, Jgrzinich, Maile Colbert y Monos.
