Experimental - 7

Welcome to Britain, thousands of years ago. Walk through our ancient woods, our rivers and wetlands, our open meadows and dense forests, all thick with the sounds of nature. Hear the calls and movements of animals that roamed this landscape.

Every sound you hear was created using recordings taken at Wildwood Trust, a centre for the conservation of British wildlife that features both past and present species. Twenty-seven of these species appear in Our Ancient Woods:


Arctic Fox · Barn Owl · Boar · Common Crane · Eagle Owl · Eurasian Elk · Eurasian Lynx · Eurasian Otter · European Bison · European Brown Bear · European Polecat · European Wildcat · Fallow Deer · Grey Wolf · Konik Horse · Little Owl · Pine Marten · Raven · Red Deer · Red Fox · Red Squirrel · Red-Billed Chough · Reindeer · Rook · Soay Sheep · Tawny Owl · White Stork

PRE-ORDER ALBUM

Following a dream

Cosmogonical Ears

Black hole in, white hole out

For almost two decades, I have been tirelessly seeking honesty in music. I aim to find the sounds with which the artist speaks. Soundscapes that make you feel. Atmospheres that not only fill your room (and headphones) but truly transport you into another time and place. I will never forget the first time I heard Abul Mogard’s music. I was mesmerised. His intricate attention to sound design, rich textures, and manipulation of the created environment instantly transformed me into an avid fan. His music didn’t just augment my mood; it seemed to seep into my being, altering the code behind the perception of my mind. I didn’t just listen to his music, I invited it to be a part of my condition. In an effort to delve deeper and spend more time with such music, and more importantly, the composers themselves,  I created Headphone Community, where I feature an artist for an in-depth exploration. In the last three months, I’ve highlighted the sounds of James Murray, Ben Chatwin, and Erik K Skodvin. Today, I am honoured to announce that Abul Mogard will be the featured artist for the entire month of June! I invite you to join us on this journey, with the knowledge that your financial contribution will go directly to the artist!

TRACK PREMIERE : Abul Mogard - In a studded procession

I've wanted to write a piece like this for a long time. So I did. Built in Supercollider.

Feedback Study #1

“…the Harpies of the lovely hair, Okypete and Aello, and these two in the speed of their wings keep pace with the blowing winds, or birds in flight, as they soar and swoop, high aloft.”  
- Hesiod 
 
“Bird-bodied, girl-faced things they are… their hands are talons, their faces haggard with hunger insatiable.” 
- Virgil 
 
“Clawed feet and swollen feathered bellies; they caw their lamentations in the eerie trees.” 
- Dante

This is a stereo version of a 4-channel piece.
