| Inspired by the 2'33" spent travelling under the Mersey River in bus number 433, this CD gathered together tracks of exact length 2'33".
Produced in edition of 433 only and given away freely at tunnel toll booths.
The collection included recordings from a choir of tunnel worker specifically set up to record in the depths
of the vent shafts, underwater recordings, a remix of the silences from John Cage LPs, folk songs and excerpts of spoken morse code. |
Exploring the manners in which artists have used the very simple motif of dripping water, from HP Lovecraft in 1908 to the present. The CD combines historical works, existing tracks and new compositions. Distributed within the 'folly' Williamson Tunnels
in Liverpool, in which the sound of dripping water can be heard but rarely seen. The CDs suggest three uses of the motif by artists, as
field recording, as documented performance and as regulated rhythm. |
Gathering examples of artists using the term 'revolution', combining spoken word, archival material and new compositions in the vein of The Beatles' landmark 1968 collage 'Revolution 9'.
The collection fuses together YouTube amateurs, art students given only a 4-hour deadline to produce, Kurdish poets, Spanish punks, Cuban
artists, industrial revolution and broadside songs, Belgian folk singers, Mexican hip-hop and The Black Panthers. |
Grey is neutral, boring, indifferent, foggy, uniformed, wet, lifeless, lacking risk, businesslike, sombre and concrete.
The poet Irina Ratushinskaya spent seven years in a Russian prison camp, during which time grey, for
her, became the colour of hope.
This collection brings together those that have pushed grey's role in art, painting an optimistic grey landscape
with just a single splash of yellow, based on JMW Turner's Moonlight, a study at Millbank, 1797. |
Since time in memoriam, artists have visualised that moment when life collapses, when order ends, when our presence on this earth is brought into insignificance and we are asked to consider sizes, lengths of time and concepts almost beyond us. On this CD, artists, musicians, scientists, composers, radio astronomers and field linguists take catastrophe as their point of departure and reveal the importance of sound and auditory perception to this imagining. |
