For a residency organised by octopus collective, I spent a few days on Walney island with cellist Maja Bugge and video artist Adam York-Gregory. During this time, we documented the place with sounds and video for the performance of ‘Northern’ that took place at Full of Noises festival 2018, and later at Manchester Jazz festival and Lancaster Jazz festival. Those performances were improvised with material we collected during residencies in those places and we interpreted our sense of place from a menu of field recordings and video clips.
Presented here is a selection of the recordings I used to produce samples for performance. These recordings were collected over three days at different key locations of the nature reserve and illustrate certain natural habitats and their sonic quality.
Recorded on location, and mastered by hervé perez at nexTTime studios
