"Stockport Moment"

Chris Acheson currently lives and works in Manchester, after graduating in Fine Art from the city’s Metropolitan University in 2000.

Inspired by everyday life, Acheson’s compositions range from the mundane local café to the gaudy splendour of Piccadilly Circus, creating possible narratives for the various characters inhabiting these spaces. Heavily influenced by cinema, his paintings have the loaded meaning of a Kitchen Sink film still.

Chris Acheson has shown consistently since graduating, with solo exhibitions in London, and group exhibitions in London and Manchester.

Box Of Bees is The Arch Cupcake's full-length follow up to his highly acclaimed Wash Out EP. The Arch Cupcake is DJ/Writer/Producer Frederick Sargolini, one half of the seminal electronic duo, Ming+FS. Box Of Bees is Fred's full-length debut as a solo artist.

Box Of Bees is inspired by youthful memories of trips to Mexico, beat boxing in middle school hallways, and talent show DJ battles. In TAC's words, "I attempted to create an album that sounds like a novel. The goal was to create a sonic narrative of childhood memories."
