More known as composers for film and TV, VANBUR are Jessica Jones and Tim Morrish. Taking Jessica’s ethereal vocals and layering them to be soft and haunting over a cinematic and contemporary dream-pop soundtrack is inspired. The duo strikes an unusual balance between traditional pop song standards and something that you’d still find scoring a dramatic moment on screen.
‘Human’ is the lead promotional single from their forthcoming EP of the same name. The EP comes out on the 17th of January and I expect to be one of the first big hitters for me in 2020 to pick up. I usually spend December trying to cram in reviews of excellent music I hadn’t yet shouted about but this track is just too good to not share now. Enjoy ‘Humans’ from VANBUR below. A great way to round off the Introducing… section of Higher Plain Music for 2019.

Does VanBur have a website? Would love to know more about them, professionally. Compositional process? Full written scores or improvisational composition,? Only synths/software instruments used? Acoustic instruments placed alongside electronica? A lot of sampling, as opposed to or combining ‘traditional notational’ scoring with samples? Any direction you might guide me so I might get to their world etc would be greatly appreciated. I’m having a difficult time finding anything more than a paragraph or 2 or a youtube video etc etc.
Thanks
