Windscale Blues  Serpent and the Birds
Arma Ignifera  Bear and the Bees

someday I will write a short fable about 
this Serpent. who, while climbing a tree spied a nest
And that nest was watch over by a bird
That bird raised a ruckus in an attempt to scare the serpent
So loud that a nearby sleeping bear woke to see the ruckus
the bear didn't care much for snakes or birds 
but in a rash and angry attempt he swatted at the bird
striking the lowest limb, knocking it down, serpent bird and beehive all landing on the bears head  
 the serpent still gets the egg

Serpent's Progress (wakes the bear) by The Windscale Blues Experiment

A DAUNTING THING is a track from the cassette and digital release A RATIONAL WORLD (Numina Tapes, 2022).

A RATIONAL WORLD weaves field recordings, improvised music and climate activist statements into a fierce, joyful and poetic call to arms in times of ecological collapse. The music was created during the making of the experimental short film ANSAGE ENDE (vimeo.com/314525630) and was recorded inside an old barn on the farm of Gjalt Tjeerdsma in Beetsterzwaag, Friesland (NL). Both the film and this release dwell on the question how to live and fight in an ever more rapidly warming world.

“The seas are rising and so are we!”

This release features exclusive art work by artist Che Go Eun. The Limited Edition Cassette has its own exclusive design by the artist and was riso printed at Afreux (afreux.be).
