Recorded and mixed in Kilburn, Rutland and Marylebone by Asa Bennett. Produced by Audrey Riley and We Are Children (We Make Sound). Mastered by Craig Vear. Artwork by Jutojo.

We Are Children (We Make Sound) began life as The Institute All Stars, a mixed ensemble project consisting of students from the college in Kilburn. Rehearsing late at night in college downtime, with strange noises emanating from Room 201 after everyone else had left, it had only one intention: to explore music, regardless of which instruments turned up, or whatever style was suggested. But it contained one common thread, namely the nether land that exists between rock, experimental and contemporary music.

Guided by cellist and arranger Audrey Riley and led by bassist Dan Gaylard and guitarist Alastair Beveridge, the group has evolved into a collective of fourteen musicians and composers. The line–up is unusual and innovative: guitars, basses, mandolin, drums and percussion, flute, strings, keyboards and vocals with a dubstep element. More contemporary music ensemble than band, more rock than orchestra, they present minimal masterpieces, self–penned compositions and arrangements of well–known works. Defying any categorisation, they are beginning a journey of exploration and experimentation.
