Biography
"Fusing cutting-edge beats with distorted vocal samples, Alex
Ross-Iver's music paints soundscapes in the mind and takes Brian Eno's
concept of musical installations to another level for the 21st
century". -Music Week Magazine
AlexPop.com announced the release of “Cry For You,” the first of a series
of singles from alternative electronica and indie-pop songwriter Alexander
Ross-Iver. “Cry For You” was written by the Georgia native Ross-Iver and
co-produced by multi-genre producer John McLaughlin (Gary Barlow, Echo &The Bunnymen, Mick Jones, Westlife, Boyzone).
ALEX' INFO:
"...In a world dominated by one dimensional pop music, Alex Ross-Iver defines everything that a music maverick should epitomise. His soul mates are the likes of Brian Eno, Phillip Glass, The Knife, Kraftwerk, Yello, through to Yonderboi and La Dusselldorf. In fact pretty much anything that doesn't fit neatly into a packaged music box that makes the listener feel comfortable and at ease. Alex Ross-Iver truly pushes the boundaries of experimentalism. It was his pulsating experimentalism and thought provokingly complex musical compositions which came to the attention of two equally maverick musicians. The Icelandic pair of Gisli Kristjansson, part of the hugely successful Waterfall production team out of Norway and a Number 1 hit maker in his own right, and the wonderfully talented Eliza Newman, whose band, Bellatrix, gained huge critical acclaim releasing albums on Bjork's , 'Bad Taste' label, turning her into one of Scandinavia's most talked about and sought after vocalists. Together they tracked Alex Ross-Iver down and asked if they could create a soundscape for one of his most complex tracks, 'Haused 2′. A track that if it were a book many would say it was impossible to turn it into a movie! Nevertheless, Gisli, Eliza and Alex have ended up creating a track which takes the listener on a magical mystery tour of their imaginations. 'Fire Inside' captures a feeling of tripping through clouds, chased by a Bond villain, finally ending up landing on an ice cap of emotion with a breathless vocal that oozes passion and dreams! This track embraces all the most magical elements of pop and avant garde experimentalism and will set Alex Ross-Iver on the road to finally translating success in the UK for a composer of thought provoking music that runs contrary to musical trends and passing fashions." - MusicCrown Magazine
'4ROOM SONG' CARLOS PERON REMIX PRESS RELEASE:
Experimental producer Alex Ross-Iver has unveiled a new remix of his track ‘4 Room Song’ from influential Swiss musician, and Yello founder, Carlos Peron.
The half-Russian, half Georgian producer, has been slowly working towards the forefront of the avant-garde electro scene. Well known within the Moscow club scene, Ross-Iver’s music bridges the gap between dance and ambient. Certainly, his recent work with Icelandic composer Gisli Kristjansson - known for his work with Duffy, and Roisin Murphy (Moloko) - showcases his sound quite impeccably. The collaborative work between the two, ‘Fire Inside’ featuring vocalist Eliza Newman, reached number 17 in the Music Week Club Charts.
Initially released in 2011, ‘4 Room Song’ sparked some first rate reviews. Notably the track was featured in Music Week and Ross-Iver experienced increased levels of exposure. Now, having caught the attention of Carlos Peron, Ross-Iver has seen the track remixed to create a new listening experience. Speaking of Yello, Moby has stated that their music “belongs to the most Influential and Remarkable in Electronic Music". Peron has further explored Ross-Iver’s song, bringing out the sultry vocal melodies and warm synthesisers. Elsewhere, the cultured electronic beats and distorted guitars signify the distinct Alex Ross-Iver sound.
