@swampmessiah: Ha! tell them it's pathetic, then they'll think it's brilliant. Kids, eh?

I like.  The archaic references I shall store and spit-out at my leisure.  America is so beautifully ignorant.  It hurts. (mind on, I don't know half of this prattle either).

Your work is always a treat, Charles.  I've got a translation of this in an anthology ("The Rattle Bag", edited by Ted Hughes & Seamus Heaney) with other names as well.

Brilliant......really pleased to come across your work.

Lots of myself is deeply rooted in the countryside for various reasons and this quite stunning piece is like having a countryside-transfusion for me. The video is totally compelling too and the whole creative focus of this is magnificent. It is a reminder to me that this contemporary use of media-poetry is indeed a lasting art form and genre. 

Very v nice. Please share to https://soundcloud.com/groups/air-to-hear

(words - 13th century English)

the man that by the hare is met
of him shall never get the better
but if he lays down on the land
that which he beareth in his hand
(be it staff, or be it bow)
and bless him with his elbow

and with well good devotion 
he shall say an orison
in worship of the hare

then may he well fare

the hare, the scotart
the big-arse, the bouchart
the scotewin, the skikart
the turpin, the tirart
the way-beater, the ballart,
the go-by-ditch, the soilart
the wimount, the babbart,
the scutter, the dewbert
the stop-out, the swikebert
the friendless, the wood-cat
the broad-looker, the broom-cat
the purblind, the furze-cat
the clumsy, the west-looker
the wall-eyed, the side-looker
and also the rollicker

the stubble-deer, the long-ear
the straw-deer, the spring-heeled
the wild-deer, the leaper
the short-deer, the lurker
the wind-swift, the skulker
the hare-shagger, the hedge-squatter
the dew-beater, the dew-hopper
the sitter-still, the grass-hopper
the fettle-foot, the fold-sitter
the light-foot, the fern-sitter
the cabbage-stag, the herb-cropper
the go-by-ground, the sit-still
the pin-tail, the turn-to-hill
the quick-arise
the agitator
the white-bellied
the go-with-lambs
the chump, the churl
the niggard, the coward
the make-fare, the breaker-of-word
the sniveller, the cropped-head

(his chief name is scoundrel)

the stag with the leathery horns
the creature that dwells in the corn
the animal that all men scorn
the beast that none dare name


 


Names of the Hare

A track from the limited edition seven inch single we are releasing on Static Caravan (VAN 288) to coincide with our show at Supersonic Festival on 13th June. The live show is entitled Children Of The Stones and is a special commission in conjunction with the sound archive at the British Library. Using traditional melodies, field recordings and a new score we will summon up the ghosts of our haunted landscape.
This is a medley of a piece entitled Nightingale With Bombers, featuring a 1942 recording from a Surrey Wood of nightingales singing as Lancaster bombers fly overhead, and a traditional tune called John Riley. 
The single is limited to 100 copies and will be available to buy at the festival.
