Synth artist ? composer Chris Harvey cut his teeth on the UK production scene working as a session musician, producer and collaborator with numerous musicians including The Lloyd Langton Group, Crystal Void, S'express and Kevin Rowland.
He has an unusual blend of influences by any standard; Aphex Twin, Delia Derbyshire, Thomas Dolby, Indian and African folk music, along with composers such as Ligeti and Stravinsky. Chris has also composed for The English Shakespeare Company, various Film & TV projects in the UK & US, and has continued to perform extensively in the UK & Europe for the last ten years.
His debut album - 'The White Sail' - was originally released in 1995 and successfully combines haunting, lyrical melodies with inspired percussion and a rare sense of harmony. Whilst essentially minimalistic, the album carves out a strong identity- its carefully constructed melodies lingering long after they're heard.
Originally signed to UK label A.D. Music, Chris reclaimed rights to 'The White Sail' late 2004 and immediately chose to become part of the Magnatune Community, alongside former labelmate and friend Jan Hanford.
