facebook | soundcloud | bandcamp Founded: 2013 Hometown: Nottinghamshire, UK Genre: Progressive Metal | Ambient | Experimental | Electronic Contact: Lulu Davis: Lulu@incendia-management.co.uk Band Daniel Tompkins :: Vocals | Songwriter Live Line-Up Keshav Dhar :: Guitars | Electronics Chris Haywood :: Bass | Contrabass Ben Ansaldo :: Drums This is the solo project of British singer Daniel Tompkins (ex-Tesseract, Skyharbor, Haji's Kitchen, First Signs of Frost, In Colour) Biography White Moth Black Butterfly (WMBB) is the 'experimental' creation of UK singer / songwriter Daniel Tompkins (In Colour, Skyharbor, Ex-TesseracT) With influences stemming from the likes of Massive Attack, Enigma, and Sigur Ros, this new musical endeavor of Dan's is to be taken live following the release of the debut album 'One Thousand Wings' in November. The live line-up will consist of Keshav Dhar (Guitars, electronics) Chris Haywood (Bass/Contrabass) Ben Ansaldo (Drums) and Dan (Vocals). The project offers endless unique line-ups in the live arena, and will hopefully be a USP for the band when it comes to touring in various territories, allowing for different musicians to contribute something exceptional to the live performance. Within 'One Thousand Wings', Dan's songwriting abilities, accompanied with contributions from Acle Kahney (TesseracT), Keshav Dhar (Skyharbor), and Ben Ansaldo emanate huge cinematic soundscapes, juxtaposed with classically and electronically vibed songs, nested with powerful vocals that are quite comparative to that of his other projects. The album has guest vocals from Hayley Martin of 'Shadowboxer' and singer/songwriter Jordan Bethany.
