A showcase and shopwindow for musicians and visual artists whose work lies outside the mainstream.
Red Wharf started life as a British independent record label. It was established in the mid 1990s by Graham Bowers as a vehicle to publish music and artists whose work was difficult to accurately place in any of the named genres, and consequently publishes works that spans avant garde/experimental/progressive/minimal/ambient/contemporary music.
Red Wharf's musical output has now expanded and includes the works of William Henshall and Mel (Dr.Ian D Mellish) as well as that of Graham Bowers.
The music label forms one aspect of Red Wharf, other artistic activities include painting, sculpture, stage design for theatre productions, soundscores for film and video, sound for art installations.
Featured artists and their work in these areas include:
John Smith-aka-John Lopez Smith , and a selection of works from his portfolio of anarchic paintings and animation.
Clive Walley, the internationally renowned fine art animation artist, featuring a selection of his films and two dimensional artwork.
Mel-aka-Dr. Ian D Mellish , and the Graphic Scores he originated as part of his musical works forming the basis of his thesis for his doctorate in electronic musical composition.
William Henshall, and his contemporary composition Dark Opus (dancing with demons) ~ the first of several musical works planned for release.
Graham Bowers, and the artwork associated with his musical compositions, his sculptures and short films.
Red Wharf has been involved for many years in the performance, visual and audio arts. Its involvement and contribution has been to create musical scores, direction, choreography, stage design, paintings and sculptures, both as collaborative commissions for various companies and theatre groups and solo projects in the form of paintings, sculptures and musical compositions. Red Wharf Music compositions are available as CD's and are the work of Graham Bowers who has developed his interest in creating sound scores into composing work with a dramatic bias that is a complete theatrical experience in itself. Contributing artists who have made these works possible are; Annie Billington, Tim Franks, Peter Benedict Gallagher, Mary Heathcote, William Henshall, Jim Keddie and Mark Porter.Red Wharf Musiccompositions defy conventional categorisation, spanning many genres of musical and artistic composition and styles, namely contemporary, classical, experimental, avant-garde, dramatic, powerful, evocative and sensitive.
