ELL KENDALL

"Occasionally, I'll get lost for a morning.
Thinking about sounds that fascinate me, and their quality.
If you take a leaf from a tree, any tree will do, and look at it,
I mean really look at it, over 10-15 minutes.
Perhaps this is the type of quality which really gets to me in sound."

"What a pleasure, then, to listen to The London Ambient Orchestra perform the compositions of Ell Kendall at the Shala. An undoubted highlight of the weekend, Michael Nyman and John Adams immediately sprang to mind, but surprisingly, so did Benjamin Britten and, during a stunning choral work, Thomas Tallis. As much about the spaces in-between as the notes played, his music had a haunting, lyrical quality beautifully showcased by the excellence of the musicians of the orchestra."

"Ell Kendall's debut EP invites listeners into a world where music becomes a canvas for storytelling, where each note and sound paints vivid, emotionally charged portraits. 'Marlen' dances with the vigor of life, while 'Nuha' gently unravels the tapestry of time, both pieces resonating with the delicate beauty and transience of existence."
