Mike Sheridan 'Touch' album release

Med sit nye album “Touch” udforsker Mike Sheridan berøring, nærvær og lydens mindste forskydninger gennem et kosmisk, knitrende drømmeland af analog elektronik og det sjældne glasinstrument Cristal Baschet. Den danske komponist, producer og musiker har i snart to årtier bevæget sig nysgerrigt mellem klubkultur, eksperimenterende kompositioner og tværkunstneriske samarbejder – altid med en kompromisløs tilgang til lyd. Vi er begejstrede for at kunne præsentere Mike Sheridan, når han giver releasekoncert på ALICE i september.

Siden debutalbummet “I Syv Sind” (2008) har dansk-irske Mike Sheridan markeret sig som en særegen stemme på musikscenen herhjemme. Med en lyd, der forener knitrende elektroniske rytmer, organiske klangflader og atmosfæriske kompositioner, har han skabt sit helt eget musikalske sprog. Hans virke spænder vidt – fra samarbejder med Palle Mikkelborg, KÖLSCH og DR Pigekoret til kompositioner for film, scenekunst og billedkunst. Han har spillet på scener i DR Koncerthuset og på Roskilde Festival og modtaget en Robert-nominering for scoret til den prisvindende film “Hvor kragerne vender”.
På sit nye album “Touch” dykker Sheridan ned i en mere taktil og intuitiv musikalsk praksis. Med udgangspunkt i egne oplevelser med dyskalkuli og en fascination af elektronisk pionermusik, arbejder han med lyd som fysisk erfaring frem for traditionel komposition. Albummet er indspillet live med instrumenter, der kunne have muliggjort en næsten identisk indspilning et halvt århundrede tidligere – blandt andet en sjælden EMS-inspireret PIN-synthesizer og det spektakulære og sjældne Cristal Baschet-glasinstrument, som Mike Sheridan er en af ganske få instrumentalister i verden til at mestre.
Gennem seks kompositioner udfolder “Touch” et meditativt og sansemættet lydrum, hvor melodier opløses og rytmer flyder frit. Albummet er indspillet i København og i Berlin – her i samarbejde med Rabih Beaini (Morphosis) som lydtekniker. Vi er begejstrede for at kunne præsentere Mike Sheridan, når han præsenterer “Touch” på ALICE til september.

In English:
With his new album Touch, Mike Sheridan explores touch, presence, and the slightest shifts in sound through a cosmic, crackling dreamscape of analogue electronics and the rare Cristal Baschet glass instrument. For nearly two decades, the Danish composer, producer, and musician has moved curiously between club culture, experimental composition, and interdisciplinary collaborations — always guided by a uncompromising approach to sound. We are thrilled to present Mike Sheridan at ALICE this September for the release concert of his new album.
Since his debut album I Syv Sind (2008), Danish-Irish artist Mike Sheridan has established himself as a singular voice on the Danish music scene. Combining crackling electronic rhythms, organic textures, and atmospheric compositions, he has developed a distinctly personal sonic language. His work spans widely — from collaborations with Palle Mikkelborg, KÖLSCH, and the Danish National Girls’ Choir to compositions for film, theatre, and visual art. He has performed at DR Koncerthuset and Roskilde Festival and received a Robert Award nomination for his score to the acclaimed film Persona non Grata (Hvor kragerne vender).
On Touch, Sheridan dives into a more tactile and intuitive musical practice. Rooted in his own experiences with dyscalculia and a fascination with early electronic pioneer music, he approaches sound as a physical experience rather than traditional composition. The album was recorded live using instruments that could have enabled an almost identical recording half a century ago — including a rare EMS-inspired PIN synthesizer and the spectacular and elusive Cristal Baschet, an instrument mastered by only a handful of musicians worldwide, including Sheridan himself. Across six compositions, Touch unfolds as a meditative and sensuous sonic space where melodies dissolve and rhythms drift freely. The album was recorded in Copenhagen and Berlin, the latter in collaboration with Rabih Beaini (Morphosis) as recording engineer. We are excited to welcome Mike Sheridan to ALICE this September as he presents Touch live.
