Nonclassical are excited to release experimental guitarist and composer Tara Cunningham's new album Almost - Not Exactly, which sees her step towards a more beat-based sound for the first time. Created with sea shells and driftwood collected on a remote beach in France, these found sounds have been turned into warped beats and combined with an electric guitar bent out of shape and processed beyond recognition.

"I began creating a new body of music in March of last year whilst spending a month in Northern France by the sea, exploring a new, more rhythmic, 'beat'-focussed direction - something I had always been so drawn to when listening to music but never fully pursued in a solo capacity. I collected all kinds of percussive sounds, from rocks and shells and bits of wood; 'found sound' which effectively made up my own unique drum kit. All the pitched sounds you hear - drones, blips, chords and melodies - are from the guitar, albeit chopped up and manipulated through lots of pedals, but it's always the source."

The tracks are accompanied by a stunning set of short dance films made by Jemima Seymour and the EP also features remixes by Liam Noble, Morgan Noise and Christos Stylianides.
