about

Location

An area very much under threat. I contacted Professor Karim Vahed ahead of his Guernsey visit. I was interested in whether the rare scaly crickets being studied there made any noise. Sadly he assured me they didn’t.

The night we visited Spur Point was during a storm. I had to protect my recorder by putting it and the mics inside a box. This means the sound of the weather has been muted. However, there was so much wind and rain all I would have recorded if the equipment had been out in the open was white noise.

Music

Written in the Locrian mode, which gives tension to the piece that can’t be musically resolved. This is the second work on the album using live strings. When writing this piece, Spur Point was very much in the news. First with the seemingly inevitable plan to fill in the bay next to it, then with talk of a monorail!

Considering it’s location close to one of Guernsey’s major roads, Spur Point is surprisingly wild - especially at 3am in a storm.
