from his myspace page:

I write and record under the name of bleeding heart narrative, though
my real name is not bleeding heart narrative at all, but Oliver Barrett.
My approach to the music I make is centred around mistakes - both
accidental and intentional - amd trying to record as naturally as
possible. I record music in a semi-improvised fashion as I find that
often the best things come while the notes are still not completely fixed
in your head (often the worst things come too but they dont make it
past the delete key). I like dissonance and atonality and raw noise and
the tensions when instruments fall slightly in and out of time and tempo.
I also try to stay away from the synthesised sounds of much modern
recording for something that keeps the sounds of the instruments actually
being played. Theres a great line of Tom Waits where he says something
to the effect that his favourite music is overhearing fragments of a song
from down the street - notes mingling with the traffic and the neighbours
arguing and the general city havoc. Which pretty much sums up my feelings
towards the way I make music. I dont like things to be too clean.
When recording I like to just put a basic mic in a room - so you can hear
the creak of the chair, the doors slamming outside, the rasp of a bow on
strings (not just the resultant note) and the breaths in between, etc.
I like music where you can hear the room/space - music that sounds played.
So thats mainly what Im trying to make through bleeding heart narrative.
I would still be very much up for the idea of playing gigs as bleeding
heart narrative if anybody out there has any inclination to offer me one...
