Tactile Ensemble: Jackie Walduck (vibes/artistic director), James Risdon (recorders), Tom Jackson (clarinet), Adrian Lee (guitar), Matt Wadsworth (theorbo), Ben Markland (bass).

Weasels - from Sensing Nature

Shoreline is a rendition of a tactile score, made from objects found along a shore line in Cayeux, France.  The piece consists of knotted fishing line, tangled wire, feathers and beads.
It is realised through improvisation by Tactile trio: James Risdon - recorders, Adrian Lee - guitar, and Jackie Walduck - vibraphone.
