about

Often tension is built over time, but in this collection the explosion happens early, and the emotions follow forth, from tension to a kind of discomfort and reflectiveness.
My role in producing this album was to listen to hours of recordings with Tony’s unique handmade instruments and find the more distinctive sounds and compatible rhythms.
Listening to this series of experiments, I found them cropping up kind of accidentally, like fungi.
Their growth patterns were uneven, and occasionally their strangeness was peculiar.
So I picked out a selection, and we started working on putting them together, turning them into new things, conscious of their ever-growing and mutating forms.
It was important that the chosen tracks really showed off their full emotive range of these instruments, from the crunchier beats of Spares and Verzuli, to the vibrato pendulum of Farinel, and the more laid back and lugubrious patterns of Loertis , rounding down into minor keys. It produces an unsettled effect, like an abandoned garden that has left its plants to their wildly different rates of growth, a particularly impressive range given their origins. (Philippa Nicole Barr, 2020)
