Let The Body Attend (for Angus MacLise)

Vocal and percussion by Daniel Spicer
Additional percussion by Evie Spicer

Recorded Brighton, Autumn 2011

“Approach the room directly with seed phrases and unfold. Each of these pieces stems from an extemporisation around a clump of words, deployed and imbued with all loving respect for previous saints of freedom.  Each uncovers its own logic and is foolish, moment to moment to moment. Some combing at home made them neater, and Evie is the genie in the lamp. Love.”

Released in 2012, as 'Voice Studies' cassette No. 10, by My Dance The Skull.
