In February of 2022, as Storm Eunice worked its way across the UK, two people, namely Greig Baird and his partner Susie Baird set out for a rare weekend away on the North Coast of Devon. The weather was rough, but life affirming. The North Devon coast spectacular and dramatic; made more so by the waning storm.

This collection is a set of sonified memories; moments in a particular location at a particular time. A creative recalling. A set of sound postcards if you will.

For Susie. As always, thank you. I love you.

Special thank you to Uma Baird.

Thank you to Brad Deschamps and Polar Seas Recordings.

Also a big thank you to James Bernard.

eRecords is a digital record series created by Whitelabrecs, to run alongside our physical releases. These editions aim to transform the digital format into something that can be experienced in a similar way to a listener’s interaction with a real, white label vinyl record. Each edition includes a special PDF scrapbook including polaroids and liner notes.

We do not publish details about the concepts or production methods of a release, so that the liner notes and content in each scrapbook will give you the background of each edition in the series.

Alice Coltrane Special: Ahya Simone & Nailah Hunter 100225

Eerie, dreamy offering in support of The California Wildfire Relief Fundraiser. Drawn from my private collection of raw, untouched meditative vocal recordings on Roland Loop Station RC-505 MK2.

 Room to Dream emerged in the wake of David Lynch’s passing, a tribute to a visionary whose work shaped my inner landscapes. All pieces from this mini album hold space for stillness, remembrance, and reverie.

Room To Dream

From the album 'Unforced Errors' - out now on Vice de Forme.

Cassette and download:

Frosty sea green cassette - C-42 - limited edition of 70 copies.
Silkscreened box. Includes download code. 

Recorded and composed by Mark Vernon
Violin: Manja Ristić
