Iron Goddess

SIOBHAN McCRUDDEN - Iron Goddess

Here is the well that they dug you
there neath the salt and the snow
pushing you in was the easy part love
pulling you out I don't know

All of the lies that they told you
are just like the ice on a stream
under the wright 
of the words they won't state
all of the things that they mean.

Oh Little Red

From the album 'one thousand bird symphony by art rock musician, singer songwriter, producer GRICE released on hungersleep records, 5 March 2021

A study of feathered strength and Iridescence... 
birdsong for the fragile eggshell mind.

One thousand birds symphony is a collection of musical compositions and bird symphonies recorded and collated by the artist between March and December 2020. Constructed around field recordings of individual birdsong and exquisite choruses made from dawn 'til dusk whilst in isolation in deepest darkest Devon and inter-laced with thematic melodies and arrangements from his One Thousand Birds' album.

NOTES:

So the birds are hanging out on the telephone wires all around me taking in the Sun, preening. chattering. buzzing. glitching - The telephone wires create Staves - musical score lines which they populate and inhabit in a mischievous way. 
I took some photographs and video on my phone and realised they were adopting a melodic stance that I translated into a midi refrain and then develop the track around this thematic melody. 
There are a lot of bars of repeated refrain but I just wanted to celebrate the positions of the birds and the melody that it summoned. 

The Musicians: 
GRICE - acoustic & electric guitars, keys, piano, percussion, 
vocals, programming, sound design, bird mangling 
Duncan Chave - sound design, bird warping 
Eliza Carew - cello 
Al Swainger - bass guitars, pedals, french horn 
Fred Ehresmann - piano 
Luca Calabrese - trumpet
