Tectonics Glasgow 2023 Day 2 review

EDWARD. Kind words and mutual talk makes our grief greater.
   Therefore, with dumb embracement, let us part.
   Stay, Gaveston; I cannot leave thee thus.
GAVESTON. For every look, my love drops down a tear:
   Seeing I must go, do not renew my sorrow.

Christopher Marlowe, Edward II, Act 1 Scene 4

For every look, my love drops down a tear

The first in an occasional 'artists series' within my mattreviews podcasts in which I examine artists who are significant to me. I begin with Derek Jarman, and as a way of structuring my thoughts concentrate primarily on his film War Requiem, which is structured around the 1963 recording of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem, itself a setting of the Requiem Mass and selected poems of Wilfred Owen.  

mattreviews podcast can be found at https://audioboo.fm/playlists/1258336-mattreviews-podcast, only the longer 'artists series' podcasts will be posted to SoundCloud.

Tectonics Glasgow: day one review

Tectonics Glasgow: day two review

Matana Roberts and Kelly Jayne Jones at the Portico Library Manchester, review

five rooms is an exploration of physical and mental space, the confinements, biases, and occasional surprises. It presents itself as a conceptual tour of an apartment through sound, interrupted by field recording and inconclusive, unrelated anecdotes, before a small song either wrenches everything back on track or derails the whole affair.

five rooms was conceived and recorded very quickly, and is deliberately rough, with occasionally distorted recordings, minimal production, and for the tracks recorded outside lots of wind and traffic noise.
For the next couple of weeks five rooms is exclusively available to patrons only, before being made available to everyone else.

five rooms:

living room / study     1:36
interrupt 2 : wythenshawe park     3:41
bedroom     3:25
boxroom     1:57
non-room     2:02
interrupt 1 : visual confusion     11:38
bathroom     3:22
kitchen : later     2:23
rain turns the greens black     1:22
