In an extraordinary artistic symbiosis, two unique creators unite to explore the realm of angels and fairies working their magic to assist mankind. With a sensitive, intuitive approach, fine art painter LorAnge and composer Bradfield fuse their inspiration into a collective energy where the whole nourishes and stimulates the other, taking the marriage of art and music to a glorious new level.
LorAnge's figurative canvases are a fantasy world full of comforting mystery, and on Within our Reach, Bradfield brings that promise to life, painting a sonic landscape that opens the door to this enchanted realm. Each piece unravels with gentle suppleness, mild and serene, calling out to the dreamer in each of us while exuding the same rich hues and poetic charm that flow so freely from LorAnge's brush.
At moments, shimmering with new age thoughtfulness, at others, lyrical like a celtic romance, Bradfield's symphonic music resonates deeply with the timeless wonder of the universe. By journey's end, this divine and heavenly world is truly within our reach.

From the producer of Anael, APSIS Music presents VIRTUE, a very special conceptual album featuring the rich, classically inspired solo piano compositions of Bradfield. Speaking to us directly with the unmistakable clarity of one solitary instrument, VIRTUE strips away all but the raw essential. Within this framework, twelve original vignettes musically paraphrase the emotions inherent in several of the human virtues, lending their magic through memorable, timeless melodies and deeply sensitive interpretations.
Evolving through their stages of development and leading ultimately to a resolution, the classic tones of the piano act as a catalyst in each virtue's understanding and application. This beautiful album is completed with short, insightful essays on each virtue, written expressly by the artist as a verbal companion to the instrumental music.

Featuring passionate, intense vocals and dramatic, powerful orchestrations, Harmony in the Chaos is the solo debut album from the composer/producer of Anael. A poetic odyssey of reminiscences, realities and aspirations, this 60+ minute album has been described "like a night at a concert." Opening with a majestic, medieval-like fanfare and working its way through soft, introspective keyboard ballads and clever piano-driven pop, this first commercial release from APSIS Music is an album that grows on you with each successive listen. Highly recommended for those looking for something different and unique.
"A rare talent, both musically and lyrically, of being a nonconformist and meaning it. Classically trained, this artist has a unique hold on visionary properties when it comes to musical expression. Bordering on a pseudo-religious approach, each track has its own spontaneous sensitivity." RPM Weekly
