Gullet by ORE
In February 2012, Alex Sramek (AKA Mostly Different) ventured to the UK to record and perform with ORE, in a visit that culminated in performances in Birmingham and Bristol, and two days of improvising and experimenting with the unusual acoustics at Gullet Quarry in Worcestershire.
This field recording is a document of our time at the quarry, accompanied by the wind, miscellaneous wildlife, and the occasional dog sploshing into the lake.

ORE is the drone, doom tuba sound of Sam Underwood.
For me, playing the tuba was the first time I really felt a connection – in every sense – with a musical instrument. An extension of my own pipework; my resonant frequency. A truly physical instrument to play.
