Richard Skelton is a British musician. Following the death of his wife Louise in 2004, he began to make music as a way of coming to terms with the tragedy. His music, which uses a number of instruments – principally guitar and violin, has been compared with that of Arvo Pärt among others. His recordings explicitly reference places of emotional resonance, specifically the West Pennine Moors, and the area around the sparsely populated parish of Anglezarke.〔 His album ''Landings'' has been compared with Brian Eno's ''Ambient 4: On Land'' in its evocation of place and memory.〔 Skelton even goes so far as to include artefacts, such as twigs and alder catkins, from significant places in the packaging of his releases. Most of Skelton's releases have been issued by his own Sustain-Release label – under a range of pseudonyms including A Broken Consort, Carousell and Riftmusic, as well as under his own name – in small editions of CDs with hand-crafted packaging, and often including fragments of poetry. However, some of Skelton's work has attained wider commercial and critical success. In 2011, Skelton archived the material he had released on Sustain-Release. A box set of his complete recordings to date, titled '' *SKURA'' and totalling 20 discs of music, followed. Skelton announced that future editions of both his music and writing would be released on the Corbel Stone Press imprint. The first release was ''Wolf Notes'', a collaboration with his new partner, Autumn Richardson, under the name *AR. The album was released on 1 January 2011. To date, a number of print works and another musical collaboration with Richardson, ''Stray Birds'', have been issued. Two more music works are scheduled for release in mid-2012. Until 2010, Skelton lived in Standish, near Wigan, before relocating to the west coast of Ireland. ==Discography== Heidika, ''There Is No Cure & Other Songs'', Sustain-Release CD Carousell, ''A Dead Bridges into Dust'', Sustain-Release CD Harlassen, ''A Way Now'', Sustain-Release CD Carousell, ''Landings'', Sustain-Release CD A Broken Consort, ''The Shape Leaves'', Sustain-Release CD Riftmusic, ''Riftmusic'', Sustain-Release CD A Broken Consort, ''Box of Birch (1st Edition)'', Sustain-Release CD Clouwbeck, ''A Moraine'', Sustain-Release CD A Broken Consort, ''Crow Autumn (Part One)'', Sustain-Release CD Heidika, ''Tide of Bells & the Sea'', Sustain-Release CD A Broken Consort, ''Box of Birch (2nd Edition)'', Sustain-Release CD A Broken Consort, ''Crow Autumn (Part Two)'', Sustain-Release CD Carousell, ''Black Swallow & Other Songs'', Sustain-Release CD Richard Skelton, ''Landings'', Type Records LP/CD Clouwbeck, ''From Which the River Rises'', Sustain-Release CD Richard Skelton, ''Marking Time'', Preservation Records CD, Type Records LP Clouwbeck, ''Wolfrahm'', Sustain-Release CD A Broken Consort, ''Crow Autumn'', Tompkins Square Records CD *AR, ''Wolf Notes'', Corbel Stone Press CD Various Artists, '' *SKURA'', Sustain-Release CD (compilation of Skelton material under different names) Richard Skelton, ''Verse of Birds'', Corbel Stone Press CD 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Skelton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
