about

"something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form"

Dartmoor is a palimpsest landscape; bearing the marks of generations of people who have worked the fields, quarries and mines to harness it's riches. It can be a harsh, lonely place. The weather can change within moments, plunging you into deep fog or exposing you to scorching sun and winds. Even the most prepared and hardened of folk are caught out.

These tracks were created over the past 6 months, using field recordings taken from across Dartmoor and the surrounding area. Fused with homemade instruments, ramshackle pedals, unpredictable patches and a sprinkling of dismalism.

1. Clapper Bridge (or "River")
2. Longhouses (or "Rock")
3.The Maiden Sea (or "Sea")
4. Bearacleave (or "Wood")
5. Grimspound (or "Moor")
6. ? (?)

I wanted to honour my new home of Dartmoor and I found this incredibly challenging to achieve - it is an overwhelming landscape full of history, biodiversity and human impact. Part of me feels I should live here for twenty years before attempting to capture it's magick with sounds. But the other part of me wanted to share the start of my journey with you.

After false starts, complete rewrites and whisky, I feel like I have something I can share.

3" CDr release coming soon for anybody who wants a copy.

As a long time fan of Head of David and Tunnels ov Ah ,i thought i would check this out,its very good.You can hear echoes of what was to become Tunnels ov Ah,i think i like this just as much,if not more.This feels more aggressive,rough,jagged,and full of implied menace.Definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of the aforementioned bands.
