Fragile Colours

Fragile Colours is a studio only project that began life in the late 1980’s – a musical collaboration between Tim Julian and Fred Renata (now an acclaimed cinematographer). The first album Southern Utopia was written during this time, but circumstances dictated that it would not be finished until 2015 when Tim had finished building The Colour Field Recording Studio and found musicians to work with.

The album was well received and subsequently Tim set out to finish a 2nd album, Dancing With The Shadow’s (In Plato’s Cave), this album features the voice of Kamaea Harry with 9 of the 10 tracks penned by Tim and a beautiful ballad from Kamaea.

2025 sees the release of Fragile Colours 3rd album, Experiments in Depth of Field at The Arabica Café – this is an album of instrumentals that began life around 2010 as a project to be centred around some groovy bass lines from the exceptionally talented Brian Franks. This duly grew into the 10 song offering designed to accompany good coffee!
