Gotham Lullaby (Meredith Monk)

13 - All names

In seinem Buch Hand und Wort zeichnet der französische Paläologe André Leroi-Gourhan die Evolution von Technik, Spra-
che und Kunst anhand von Fossilien (Schädeln / Skeletten / Faustkeilen), Graphismen, Handabdrücken und Höhlenmale-
reien nach. Die Differenzierung von Händen und Füßen durch den aufrechten Gang und die Übertragung von Schneide-,
Reiss- und Schlagfunktionen des Gebisses durch den Gebrauch von Werkzeugen auf die Hände sind nur die ersten Stadien,
die die enge Verknüpfungen zwischen Werkzeug und Sprache, Hand und Gesicht, Geste und Wort begründen.
„Die Hand hat ihre Sprache, deren Ausdruck sich auf den Gesichtssinn bezieht, das Gesicht hat seine Sprache, die an den
Hörsinn geknüpft ist – die Geste interpretiert das Wort, und dieses wiederum kommentiert den Graphismus.“
Die Cuica ist eine brasilianische Reibetrommel, verwandt mit Brummtopf, Löwengebrüll und Waldteufel. Der Variabilität
ihrer klangfarblichen Möglichkeiten – vor allem ihrer Ähnlichkeit zu (Tier)stimmen – steht die Schwierigkeit gegenüber,
diese zu kontrollieren.

Lullaby vs. Night (Meredith Monk Remix)

BROTHER/SISTER

I'm a composer, pianist, vocalist, guitarist and producer based in Brighton, UK.  My work is highly diverse, sometimes entirely solo, sometimes with members of a diverse pool of musicians collectively known as 'The Academy of Sun' and sometimes in other collaborative arrangements. 

In 2011 Kiddiepunk Records put out 'A Day Without Comfort', which is a character study based on the extraordinary life of a friend.  This was released as a limited edition booklet and CD and is available from www.kiddiepunk.com

'My Antique Son', 'A Day Without Comfort' and 2009's 'TERRitORies of disSENT' form part of an album quintet known to myself as 'The Phoenix Archaeologies'.  

The fourth in the sequence - 'Letters To The Dead' (an occult melodrama in three acts), which uses only acoustic instruments (i.e. no synth, REAL pianos, etc) and was recorded in churches and various studios with an eclectic and huge array of amazing musicians.  This was released on limited edition 12" vinyl by Antithetic Records, and as a CD by Alter Clef Records in 2012, alongside a series of expanded concerts within a dynamic visual environment.

Other projects include the first in a series of EPs under the name 'Tadzio', out on Blindsight Records as a limited lino-cut package with accompanying prose piece. 

The last in the quintet, 'Ganymede In A State Of War' was released in 2016 via arts organisation Theme.
