Info zu Snow vs Mountain

Snow vs Mountain’ is a meditation on survival. It is music of hope, born out of dark times. Created by Spark in Sydney, Byron Bay and London over almost three years. Working in collaboration with post rock prodigy Otto Wicks Green (sleepmakeswaves) and the legendary British arranger Audrey Riley, known for her string arrangements for the likes of Smashing Pumpkins, Muse, Coldplay, The Smiths and on the self-titled ‘Birds of Tokyo’ album, Spark found himself in London’s Assault and Battery studios with some of the UK’s most revered orchestral players from the West End to Hans Zimmer’s crew, bringing his compositions to life.

In a strange piece of timing the recording was largely completed in early 2020 just before the Covid 19 pandemic plunged billions of people into years of dark isolation much like the earlier period in Adam Spark’s life which originally inspired this creative project.

Since forming Birds of Tokyo in Perth almost 20 years ago the group has enjoyed multiple #1 Albums in Australia and received “Rock Work of The Year” at the APRA’s on a record setting five occasions. But this latest project is something very different from anything he has ever attempted. It’s an epic neo-classical composition driven by cinematic pianos, synthetic soundscapes and a chamber orchestra.

Whilst Birds of Tokyo continues to be a recording and touring force for Adam, composing music outside of the rock world has been part of his musical evolution. Alongside the release of ‘Snow vs Mountain’ comes the news Adam will be scoring the music for the film ‘Where All Lights Tend To Go’. Directed by Ben Young (Hounds of Love, Extinction) and staring Billy Bob Thornton and Robin Wright, the film is an adaptation of the award-winning novel of the same name from author David Joy.

Adam Spark
best known as the driving force behind anthemic ARIA Award and multiple APRA Award winning rock band Birds of Tokyo has announced his debut neo-classical album ‘Snow vs Mountain’.

In 2018 Spark found himself at the very bottom of the well. “I had to write my way into living”, Spark explains. “This project is the result of those writings. It literally saved my life and is designed to share my eventual realisation that living, even through pain, is well worth it. It’s a bit like surfing….ain’t no waves without the whitewater.”

‘Snow vs Mountain’ was created by Spark in Sydney, Byron Bay and London over almost three years. Working in collaboration with post rock prodigy Otto Wicks Green (sleepmakeswaves) and the legendary British arranger Audrey Riley, known for her string arrangements for the likes of Smashing Pumpkins, Coldplay, Muse, The Smiths and on the self-titled ‘Birds of Tokyo’ album, Spark found himself in London’s Assault and Battery studios with some of the UK’s most revered orchestral players from the West End to Hans Zimmer’s crew, bringing his compositions to life.
