MUSICIANS' 4 CLIMATE ACTION
We can all make a difference! Support Musicians' 4 Climate Action by watching, liking and sharing 'Connected'. Inspired by the famous 1854 speech of Chief Seattle, now regarded by many as the father of modern conservation, Nick and Peter set his famous words to music so his compelling message can be heard by all. How cool that Chief Seattle’s legacy from over 150 years ago is supporting modern conservation projects today. Please SUBSCRIBE for more information and details of how you can get involved in this new and exciting project.
Chief Seattle delivered a compelling message to the US government, conveying his dismay of the white man’s attitude to the indigenous people and their environment. He was just 22 years old when he became chief of the Suquamish and allied tribes in 1808 and was still chief when he delivered his testament in December 1854. Vocals by Annette White. Artwork by Millie Grainger. The painting is of Joao, a male Sumatran tiger & part of the captive breeding programme at Dudley Zoo in the UK West Midlands. There are now thought to be fewer than 140 Sumatran tigers surviving in the wild...time is running out...please pledge your support now!

Tony Chance
We are eternally grateful to our lifelong friend and collaborator Tony Chance for his spectacular artwork and incredible movie-making skills, but most of all, his loyal and dear friendship. It was actually Tony who came up with 'Ezra Pound' which was on a list of band names Tony had written down for his own band...Pete immediately poached it & Ezra Pound was born. Tony then helped out with live sound plus adding sound effects from his home made 'Gerry Anderson' oil rig synthesizer! Tony's life passion has been, and continues to be, painting and drawing. He has illustrated a large number of books, and has become known for his conceptual artwork and storyboards for many Hollywood feature films. These include No Time To Die, Rocket Man, Spectre, Mission:Impossible and the Oscar-winning, American Beauty. The weather is the inspiration for most of Tony’s original artwork. Very often they are images drawn from remote and wild areas of Britain. “I love the dramatic effect that the climate has on the landscape. How it affects light, and the challenge of capturing this in two dimensions.” Narrative is also a strong element of Tony’s work. “Illustration and storyboarding informs my painting, and I’m very influenced by 17C Dutch and Victorian painters. Story telling and drama is what interests me most in art.” DeSylvaWitt's next album release, 'ORBIS' features Tony's sublime 'Falling Slowly' oil painting, the CD cover does not do it justice so please visit Tony’s fine artwork website and immerse yourself in his weatherscape world: weatherscape.co.uk

Pete Maher Adding the final sparkle to DeSylvaWitt's audio comes Pete Maher, the UK’s No1 independent mastering engineer. Recent projects include U2, Peaky Blinders, The Pixies, Nick Cave, BBC Introducing, MTV, The Rolling Stones and Eurovision. Pete uses valve multiband compression and all the best digital plugins to give his mixes more height, depth and volume. He is a huge supporter of new music even finding time for DeSylvaWitt in amongst his star-studded client list! Pete says: "I honestly believe that the best music in the world today is either independent or still unsigned. There’s a huge amount of talent out there being overlooked by major labels and that needs to change. It’s time for the industry to dig a lot deeper!"

Matt Butler We are honoured to have worked with one of the best sound engineers in the business, Matt Butler. Matt's knowledge, experience, and zest for music is second to none, as is his client list! As Matt says: "Life has to be fun and creating music is something that is both fun and lasts for a long time...I am proud of my approach, ensuring clients have the best product... To see the fans go nuts about songs crafted in the studio is the best thing. I've mixed so much in so many places and I always want to have an end product that we are all so proud of. I'm used to dealing with budgets, ideas, mixing, arrangements, bars & beats, difficulties, celebrations, fears and above all: inspiration. Songwriters are the key to it all."

Simon Holder Rock steady Si became the beating heart of Tom The Frop when he joined in 1995. He is Mr Reliable, the super-solid, well-oiled engine room of the band. But perhaps his greatest skill is the inspirational ability to unceasingly wind-up our beloved Maxwell! Simon really came into his own at the 2007 Hole-in-the-Wall concert with members of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. This will be our next release so please subscribe to be kept in the loop.
Greg Faulkner We first met 'Big Bottom Bass Boy' Greg Faulkner in the early 1980's at 'The Miss County Express Ball at Dudley Town Hall'. Greg was playing with Debbie Bonham's 'Aircrew' and Ezra Pound were on the same bill. None of us can remember the date, but it was with DLT and Simon Bates at Dudley Town Hall. If you were there, we would love to hear from you! Greg joined Tom The Frop in 1997 when Nick went on paternity leave. He was so talented that when Nick returned, Tom The Frop became five!
