About this Event
Salmon Universe Presents: Resonant Coast #4
Richard Pike (LP launch) / Jonny Fryer
Richard Pike launches his next LP 'Redemption Suite I-IX: For Piano & Textures' on his own imprint Salmon Universe. 90s-inspired dub-glitch and tape loops, against slow piano improv created as a partial homage to Ryuichi Sakamoto, exploring themes of domestic life and personal transformation. Avoiding the standard tropes of piano-meets-electronic Pike treads a beautiful line between elegant melodic decisions and soft noise.
Pike has recently shared the stage with performers such as James Holden, Gold Panda and Ramsgate's own Look Mum No Computer. He has released on UK's Warp, Gondwana and Trestle Records.
“Pike takes looped glitches and adds ripples upon ripples of melody…to create something a little bit New Age, a little bit Fourth World, and a whole lot healing. A subtle tonic—but a potent one.” - Joe Muggs, Bandcamp Best Electronic

Jonny Fryer is a composer/guitarist based on the south east coast releasing music via Trestle Records, a London based label specialising in instrumental music.
Crafting delicate meditative instrumental arrangements with nylon string guitar as the primary building block into compositions that will resonate with new age and modern esoteric listeners alike.
‘..he offers us a glimpse of life distilled to its essence: fleeting, imperfect, and achingly beautiful’ - Vito Camarretta, Chain DLK.
‘Fryer’s quest for simplicity - a notoriously difficult goal - yields moments of profound beauty that linger long after the final notes fade’ - African Paper, Germany
