Kevin Shields is an Irish musician, singer-songwriter, composer, and producer who has released one collaborative album and scored the film Lost in Translation, in addition to a prolific career as a producer and mixer. He began performing in the late 1970s and formed the Dublin-based punk rock band The Complex with drummer Colm Ó Cíosóig and guitarist Liam Ó Maonlaí. Following Ó Maonlaí's departure, Shields and Ó Cíosóig recruited vocalist David Conway[1] and formed a new band, My Bloody Valentine, in 1983.[2]

After a number of minor mini-album/EPs and singles, the band released their first two full-length studio albums,

shoegazing.[3] During this time, Shields created a guitar technique known as "glide guitar", which includes extensive use of the tremolo arm while strumming[4] and features reverse reverb sourced from his Yamaha SPX90 processing unit.[5]

Following My Bloody Valentine's disbandment in 1997, Shields began a career as a producer and mixer, with a number of artists, including

Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) award for Best Music in a Film,[9] and an Online Film Critics Society award for Best Original Score.[10] In 2008, Shields released The Coral Sea, a collaborative live album with Patti Smith, on which he provided musical accompaniment to Smith's reading of her book of the same name
.
