"Caution Wet Floor" is FINGERGAP's first compilation album, consisted of remixes of Cantonese and Mandarin pop from 60s to y2k era, which are all destructed by the introduction of 160 bpm footwork-influenced beats and synth.

舊歡如夢 (FINGERGAP Footwork Remix)

Written for three acapella voices: Mezzo-Soprano, Alto and Tenor
Performed by: Mhairi Carson, Eva Black and Mikey Cottom

Based on a poem by Claire Laurence:

there is somewhere a missing seam that
takes this thing from balmy breath to bright like a
candle in a hollow. the matchstick tread from end of aisle

up to the alter and its cloth with all the light around us reeling, keening like and angel made of bone and dental fragments, rented, stagnant, time stood still between

the cavern of our palms an endless moment of the ache
inside your womb-wound heart and here i wonder: if i take you and your shoulders and your hipbones and your eyelids, if i

take you, all your love inside me rolling like the ocean boiling off, if i take and i lead you with your hand inside my hand, will you follow to my crater cave and build a garden there.


Programme notes: 

Song for the Nuclear Winter was born out of a conversation with my close friend Claire in which we discussed the intensity of relationships where the stakes of loss and gain are always so high. Claire described her poem as capturing the ‘frantic desperation of love as well as the reward that can be reaped in the form of growth’ but doesn’t shy away from exploring the neurotic and challenging nature of romantic love and the rituals that surround it. The title alludes to the universal impulse to make music in times of destruction and apocalypse, similar to the way love and devotion brings people together during times of hardship.

In my musical setting of the poem, I have attempted to explore these themes and ideas through contrasting musical sections which doesn’t follow the immediately noticeable structure of the poem, but instead functions in a way that dramatizes the continuously shifting tone in a theatrical manner. The arresting and perhaps restrictive religious imagery that permeates the poem lends itself to a chorale like texture. However, the music doesn’t become fully homophonic until the end of the piece, and until so, employs an array of extended techniques like whispering, humming and clapping which enhances the performative aspect of the music. These effects are layered over rhythmically charged verbs like ‘keeling’ and ‘reeling’ exacerbating the feeling of unease and being overwrought with emotion. The mood drastically changes in the final two stanzas as the melody from the opening section of the piece is heard in the major key. The theme of love transforms into an irresistible force which cannot be restrained. As the speaker makes the final demand of love, the voices move in complete unison in a chorale like fashion with short dramatic pauses in between phrases intensifying the lover’s plead.
