This is the work of Rhodri Davies and Louisa Hendrikien Martin. Davies is extremely active in the experimental / improv / avant-garde scene, being a frequent collaborator, usually playing harp and electric harp. Elsewhere, Martin keeps herself busy in the fields of live sound and visual performance. The foundation of the album was a Harp improvisation which was then manipulated electronically, the artists then improvised along with the recording then edited and repeated the process. The results are sounds which sonically seem a million miles away from the sound of a harp, rather strange electronic tones, glitches, crunches, crackles. Occasionally I'm reminded of Alva Noto's stranger moments but really I cant think of any real obvious or immediate comparisons. Adventurous, bold and truly experimental audio. Hand numbered edition of 200 copies.
