Lush Strings
Sam Vicary A.K.A Hunrosa (meaning “to dream”) is an electronic music producer capturing the wild organic senses of his childhood and anchoring it with a darker 2am undercurrent. Based in Manchester, he is principally a bassist and currently a member of The Cinematic Orchestra, Paper Tiger and The Dominic J Marshall Trio as well as performing with Manu Delago, Imogen Heap, Matthew Halsall, Anil Sebastian and Stuart Macallum.
Hunrosa is a creation drawing on a multitude of influences; marrying heavy bass, lush strings and soaring vocals. The music is inspired by a coastal upbringing, represented in the music via field recordings, as well as being aided by visual stimulus throughout the writing process.
Winter Nights
The music plays on the juxtaposition of modern electronic music and the beauty of acoustic instruments whilst maintaining a focus on song-writing and pure music. There features homage to ambient/electronic producers, late 60’s psychedelic jazz artists and romantic classical music.
The live band features Vicary on bass, Sam Gardner on drums, Liviu Gheorge on keys and Alice Higgins on vocals; all members contributing various live electronic performance.
All: Remixes sees Hunrosa’s debut single reinterpreted by two of the UK’s finest beat makers. Albert’s Favourites stalwart, as well as drummer for The Expansions and artist in his own right, Jonny Drop, delivers a hip-hop flavoured take that lightens the mood for those long, dark winter nights; whilst producer, brewer and candlestick maker Owen Roberts, AKA Bad Milk, comes through with a slightly more stripped down and gorgeously introspective approach on the back of stunning remixes for Robinson and United Vibrations.
