Heliopause (band)

Heliopause are a U.K. band based in Belfast and Brighton, led by filmmaker Richard Davis. The band is known for performing in unusual locations such as May Street church, the Ulster Hall, the Palm House at Botanic Gardens, the dome over Belfast's Victoria Square shopping centre, at the Willowstone music festival and the Hammer gallery in Berlin.

They released their debut EP Dark Matter on Furious Tradesmen in May 2008, two months after the exquisite instrumental band from which they took their name released their self-titled debut EP Heliopause on Rampapo records. Guitarist Michael Kinloch departed after the EP's release to concentrate on playing bass in Not Squares. Chris McCorry, formerly of Cutaways joined in late 2008 and the trio released a handmade single, Moment of Recognition in 2009. Their début album "Walk Into the Sea" was recorded at Belfast's Start Together studio in summer 2009, and released on 1 October 2010.

Heliopause (album)

Heliopause is the fourth album by The Resonance Association, and the third to be released on their own label mrsvee recordings in October 2011. Reviews were mixed; Echoes & Dust said "[they] have produced a soundtrack to a film that does not exist. This is not a derisory comment, the film should exist and if it matched the music on offer over the albums 74 minutes, it would be intense, eventful and at times mesmerising". while Incendiary Magazine commented "...it’s long, indulgent and painstaking in its thoroughness and dedication: and not everything will be for you. But the good bits are very good indeed.".
