Biographie de Birch Book
As poet, pilgrim, progenitor of wyrd-folk and maestro of Birch Book (and formerly In Gowan Ring), B'ee has developed a homespun sonic tapestry with peculiar richness of vision; recording over a dozen full length albums and performing in over 30 countries worldwide in veritable itinerant fashion. Variously labeled 'Wyrd', 'Psychedelic' or 'Avant Folk', Birch Book is rooted in poetic-folk traditions while cultivating an inimitable, self-attuned writing style that prefigured the 'New-Psyche-Folk' movement. ‘Birch Book’ marks an evolution in sound away from the overtly psychedelic towards a simpler, highly effective, direct song based approach, reflecting the distillations of a perennial rambler, reckoning a road less traveled. As well as composing the original material for In Gowan Ring, B'ee collects renditions of traditional songs and builds many of the acoustic instruments featured in his performances and recordings. He has also studied the music of the Trouveres and Troubadours, the counterpoint of the High Renaissance, and modern orchestration. *Birch Book/In Gowan Ring have shared bills with Faun Fables, Woven Hand, Vashti Bunyan, Sharron Kraus, Amber Asylum, Martyn Bates, Feathers, PG Six, Aranos, Julia Kent (Antony & the Johnsons), Stone Breath & others; and appeared on compilation albums featuring Acid Mothers Temple, Nico, The Strawbs, Einstuzende Neubauten, Steven Severin (Siouxsie & the Banshees), Tiny Tim, and William Burroughs among others. B'ee is the prolific young musician behind BIRCH BOOK. He is a real troubadour of modern times and his music draws its substance from his journeys all over the world.
