WALDERE
Composer & Pianist
Waldere is the solo project of Colchester UK based musician Matthew Brown. The name Waldere comes from the whispered fragments of a lost old English poem, reflecting the Matthew's sense of connection to the nature and history of his homeland.
Matthew studied Piano and Composition from age 6 to degree level. His first full-length album of piano music, "Places" will be released autumn 2022, and evokes a range of mainly place-based themes exploring UK landmarks and nature.
Matthew has already had a worldwide play of the opening track of "Places" on BBC's "The Sleeping Forecast" which coupled with the spare time over lockdowns in 2020-2021 has culminated in the creation of his first full-length and fully produced album. Tracks range from 2-hands piano through to full multitrack recordings which layer up to 7 pianos and add a touch of other instruments such as bass guitar and Rhodes electric piano.
