The Double Headed Seagulls is a project by Dave Wirth, award-winning film score composer and music producer. The project's latest album, “Play Artful” now reaches the public, showing an expected versatility, between experiments and diverse styles, generating something unique and very characteristic. All with the artist's skills visible (or audible?).
In just over 15 minutes, Dave manages to deliver four soundfully winding tracks, where he can turn the experiments into tracks that end up generating various sensations and can have diverse functions, such as being themes of films, series, games and documentaries, even as something ambient.
The curiosity of “Play Artful”, is that a lot originates from the 2011 album “Slimline”, specifically from the numerous extra cassette recordings made during its long production process. Perhaps this explains the organicity of the work, which brings guitars, synths and keyboards blending in favor of the work set.
The opening track, “Full Oxford” is a perfect model of the record, with its variations of both sounds and weather, summarizing well what is to come. Another highlight is the closing track, “Doss Money”, which has a softer and more atmospheric appearance, closing the disc masterfully.
