Lanreath by Matthew Shaw

"Lanreath" was recorded this summer in the small village of Lannreath in Cornwall. The cd is Matthews audio take on Lanreath, making music and using sound from the village itself. This release follows the likes of "Metherell" on Sonic Oyster Records, and also "The Four Zoas" on Siren Wire editions. Almost 50 minutes of music, a continuing exploration and meditation by Matthew on the sounds of a single place. Most of the sounds here we're created with guitar and also using processed and unprocessed field recordings. The photos that make up the packaging we're all taken on the days of the recordings.
"Lanreath is a small village containing some beautiful old buildings, a pub and small community shop. It formed the perfect base to disappear into sound, to meditate on the spirit of place with excursions to the nearby Duloe stone circle for inspiration (and whatever else unknown and unseen) that may have influenced or affected the sounds and recording process"
