New music from The Silent Committee

06/03/2026 //

‘Occam’ is the new EP of classical music from

The Silent Committee.

Available to stream/download from today over at the Bandcamp site

A new orchestral work composed by Chris Fordham and released under The Silent Committee moniker.

The 1st track, Occam II, is a complete movement of music centred primarily around piano and viola but also features a wider orchestral pallette than on previous works, introducing percussive and wind elements into the mixture.

As with Chris’s previous orchestral release, restrictions of access/funding to musicians means the majority of instrumentation is midi based, excluding some live elements of viola, piano and bowed bass played by Chris himself.

Occam III is an experiment in orchestral ambience – long drawn notes that interweave and create moments of peace and discomfort in equal measure.

Download of the full EP includes high a resolution image of the full original artwork ‘Occam IV’

I hope you enjoy the sounds!

The Silent Committee is back!

‘Pinnacle Figments’ marks [4-D] recordings 1st release of 2025 and the first new full length album of music from TSC in almost 2 years. The album is available from 01/05/2025.

The album is currently only available on Bandcamp, free to stream or £4 to download and keep.

Returning to his musical beginnings, Chris Fordham has produced an album of thought provoking, minimalist, instrumental music under the moniker ‘The Silent Committee’. Recent releases had involved attentions to detail and experimentation with odd timings and orchestral arrangements, these songs however, all began more freely as pure improvisations and grew from there with the majority of elements being recorded live on the fly.

The album explores the theme of aiming to constantly climb and the setbacks that includes on the way.

5.Overlooking the Precipice 10:52

City Of Reflections

03/10/2023 //

The new album is entitled ‘One Day The Sadness Will End, But I Don’t Think Today Is The Day…’ and is due to be released on October 27th exclusively through the projects BandCamp.

See above the video for the lead single ‘City of Reflections’.

The single will be available to download for free on Friday October 6th and includes an extra non-album track!

The album will do all the usual TSC stuff – instruments played, sampled, broken and oddly arranged in a minimal, ambient fashion. It’s been a stop start few years in the making, but overall I’m happy with the result.

Subscribe to the blog here and/or follow @ 4DRecordings on instagram for more news on the album release as it happens.

Much love.
