Inspired by the local area of Dale head and now abandoned hamlet of Stocks-in-Bowland where my relations resided until the area was flooded to create Stocks reservoir. The piece features a field recording made in the area and comes in two versions - 3ips is slowed and retuned via the tape recorder and 7ips is the track at regular speed.
flowering bodies is an ongoing conversation between landscape and tape, finding beauty in the stillness of the Yorkshire Dales โ a place that feels both desolate and alive. Composed in a remote farmhouse, the music uses worn tape textures and experimental synthesis to capture moments of solitude, offering listeners space for reflection.
