Inspired in equal parts by John Luther Adams, Spiritualized and Gavin Bryars (none of them strangers to a blistering saxophone or sinking bass), Colourfield signals Dan Michaelson's first album release as an instrumental artist as well as his debut for contemporary music label Village Green.

Though better known for his solo albums of dark, Americana tinged reflection, Dan is no stranger to instrumental music, gradually building confidence with orchestra through his trilogy of albums 'Distance', 'Memory' and 'First Light', an album for solo voice and strings.

In making Colourfield Michaelson worked closely with violist and conductor of the London Contemporary Orchestra Robert Ames and violinist Galya Bisengalieva to create a record of universal beauty.
