about
In August 2023 Kate Kinoshita and I visited the Tumulus de Kercado in Carnac, Brittany. This megalithic structure has been dated as one of the oldest in Europe at around 4800BCE.
The monument was heavily restored in the early 20th century but, even so, we decided to carry out some simple sonic investigation. Singing through the pitches, it was clear that there was a particular resonance around 338-440Hz.
There seem to be many conflicting theories regarding the benefits of different frequencies of sound, but if nothing else, it is interesting that this area, around concert 'A', may have been as important 7000 years ago as it is today.
All the sounds in this ep were created from one seven second sample of us singing, as closely as we could, the resonant frequency of the chamber.

I absolutely love this album. From seeing Spaceship Mark with Luke Turner, Hannah Peel and Will Burns at Cecil Sharp House, to listening to Structures this week has been an amazing journey. Structures is a very satisfying, and very human end to the Calderdale Trilogy.

Bandcamp collection
by Paul JordanIn the music of Paul Jordan, digitally manipulated field recordings become striking electronic songs that feel eerie and surreal.

The album title stands for “Congratulations You Ruined Everything,” and its songs are tense and unnerving electronic journeys.

Through the Nightfall Grandeur
by Dahlia's TearMoody dark ambient from Dahlia’s Tear, the expansive sounds on “Through the Nightfall Grandeur” are as melancholy as they are unsettling.
