Info for Together Apart

Together Apart is literally a coming together of artists from all over the world - I wanted to create something that had a kind of global feel in terms of the artist that I would collaborate with. It was important to me that I tried to work with people from as far afield as possible - because I think the idea that we can be connected by music - even though we are separated by great distance and culture is what is important. Divided by language, ideas, history, but united by the desire to create music.

From Australia, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Poland, Canada all the collaborations took place with only zoom calls, emails or telephone calls. The odd question as to whether this or that worked - what did I think of that? It is a strange and beautiful thing that music - possibly the most interactive and performative of the arts could be created like this. Together Apart. Music, the language that all of us understand and that needs no translation.

To accompany this album there will be a book with comments from each of the collaborators - also included are the notes that were the inspiration for each piece of music on the album . So yes you can play them too and see where they take you.

Together Apart is a beautiful anthology of ambient music. When listening to its twelve tracks the listener is transported not only around the world, but through the many differing styles of some of the globe’s best contemporary composers. Together Apart is set to be released digitally as well as physically on vinyl. There will also be a book of sheet music available, the proceeds of which will be donated to Eden Reforestation a nonprofit NGO that works in developing countries to rebuild natural landscapes destroyed by deforestation.

"It was important to me to work with people from as far afield as possible – because I think the idea that we can be connected by music, even though we are separated by great distance and culture, is what is important. Lambert did so much to my original idea. When I first heard what he had done I stopped everything and had to remember its simple beginning. It was brilliant and I really had to fight the urge to put just one more idea in, to create one more melody or variation, because it was perfect.” (Vince Pope)

"His music for the final episode of WALLANDER required a huge amount of subtlety and skill...... The music had to underline a heartbreaking emotional journey for Kenneth Branagh, which Vince managed with skill and poignancy, adding immeasurably to a heartbreaking episode." Francis Hopkinson, executive producer Wallander, Trauma.

Vince Pope is an RTS winning and BAFTA nominated composer based in central London who has made his name providing contemporary and cutting edge scores for series including No Offence, Undercover, Misfits and Black Mirror.
