about

Location

I was recently out of hospital and under doctor’s orders to take it easy, so was chaperoned by my long-suffering fiancée for this field recording trip. It was a completely still night and there was a very low spring tide. This could have been the first time I captured 'nothing' for the project. However, even though it was 4am there were two large diggers working in the harbour mouth. We were high above them, but there was still lots of industrial noise and shouts from the workers.

Music

Inspired by experiencing two stunning performances using drones (constantly sounding notes). The first was by Echo Choir at Union Chapel of O Virtus Sapientiae by 12th century composer Hildegard von Bingen. Then Le Long d'un Vert Bocage performed by Lihou at St James. Both reinforced the power of drone-based music to me.

The first half of Mont Crevelt 4am is based on drones, with them eventually fracturing to reveal a warm oscillating synthesiser line.

The music for this piece was written in bed during an unexpected eight-day stay on Brock Ward.
