Ground breaking Singer Songwriter Tanya Walker is launching her new work entitled Breaking The FearWall at Brecon Cathedral on Saturday March 10th 2012.
The much admired founder of Flowmotion has settled on the songwriters path in recent years and cites Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Bjork and Tori Amos as key influences. “Think June Tabor with a contemporary classical, alternative twist” says Walker who last year performed at a high profile event in Grovesnor Square, London (the location of the American Embassy) to commemorate the lives of 9/11 victims.
Breaking The FearWall is also to be entered into The Mercury Music Prize. The performance of this suite of interconnected songs will feature harmonies by the 36 member Brecon Cathedral Choir. Also accompanying Tanya Walker, will be a specially assembled contemporary acoustic rock ensemble that includes members of Cerys Matthew’s Band.
The project will feature songs that have been three years in the making and also employs Adobe Live voice sampling. The performance has further multi-media elements with projection of Walker’s film imagery having been developed by Immediate Productions an exciting new media production company from the South Wales Valleys
Breaking The FearWall is not only a unique collaboration musically but also in the manner in which the work has been supported by local community and Arts organisations.
Tanya Walker said :” I am very excited to be inviting you all to the premier of’ Breaking the FearWall’, after successfully securing a grant from the Arts Council of Wales, as well as further support by Brecon Town Council and Brecon Brewing, the premiere is being delivered in partnership with Theatr Brycheiniog.”
‘ Exciting, enchanting, piano driven songs……… hauntingly beautiful vocals performed by award winning singer songwriter – Original, sumptuous musical arrangements’
Advance tickets are priced at £7.00 and can be purchased online at www.theatrbrycheiniog.org.uk
For the past 11 years, Tanya Walker has been SONIG Youth Music Industry Co-ordinator for Rhondda Cynon Taff C.B.C’s Arts Development Unit, supporting 8 – 25 year olds into the music industry and creative industries.
Walker said: “Its a very rewarding job, which enables me to make a real difference in people’s lives. Breaking The FearWall is my biggest project to date and I would welcome the opportunity to share this inspirational experience with you at Brecon Cathedral on March 10th”“
