Malvern Brume

"Sulfur Sands"

Previously unreleased

Malvern Brume is the moniker of London based sound artist and musician Rory Salter. Following two cassette releases and appearances on Infant Tree and Low Company label compilations in 2019, Salter released Gaps In The Persistent Hiss, a 20 minute piece on London Cafe Oto’s TakuRoku label. His debut album Tendrils followed a year later on Alter. Made from a bric-à-brac of field recordings, improvised synthesis, stream of consciousness poetry and everyday object clatter, Malvern Brume’s music forms a dense foggy sound often responding to specific rural locations, the intersection of traffic and noise pollution, and the general intensity of life in London. Salter also co-runs the label Infant Tree with artist and musician Ben Victor Waggett.
