about

"a farewell to arms" is the debut album by Michael Valentine West on the Reverse Alignment label. It is already known that mvw is a very talented musician, but in the long piece that gives the title to the album, the artist is capable of passing from initial intimate electro-acoustic music to expanses of pure sound plasma that bring to mind Ligeti's flocks of sound; and then to then pass through the energy of the percussion immersed in electronic gusts, finally returning to the calm of the dusty ambient music. A work of rare beauty.

Michael Valentine West is a composer/decomposer utilising lessons learnt from various musical disciplines such as minimal, ambient, glitch, hip hop, jazz and sound design. He has recorded, produced and remixed using aliases such as Twiggy And The K-Mesons, K-Meson 4, Suck Susan, Lower Third, Anal Teens and of course MVW. He has also scored music and contributed songs to soundtracks for several independent films.
