autumn (naviarhaiku595)

Another snippet from Califo Paean, this time featuring bass guitar fighting for its life amongst the reverb. 

Caligo Paean is a 1 hour long sound piece installed on river front property in the town of Franklin, Tasmania as part of the exhibition "When The Fog Clears". It formed part of the Ten Days on The Island Festival March 2025.
The work was installed in several locations across the property including a stack of subs under an old bus, in the main exhibition space and in an abandoned shed some 40 metres from the main area . The speakers were 'tuned' quite differently depending on their location and the sound was not delay corrected with the result of each mini-installation merging with each other in odd sonic ways - kind of calling the listener from one spot to another. The the work features field recordings, percussion, piano, bass guitar and Intonarumori as well as this special one off choir : )

Caligo is the Ancient goddess of Chaos. Born of the fog she controls the darkness, dwells in the void and is as old as the primordial matter that created the universe. This work is a tribute to the goddess as she continues to influence our lives and, in the case of this installation, the site and concept informing the show.

Official press release below for The Fog Clears

Every day, the mists of the Huon Valley perform a seductive dance, gently obscuring and revealing contours of the fertile land and waters. Situated in The Watershed Franklin, When The Fog Clears features six artists from lutruwita / Tasmania exploring the region’s iconic mists through a variety of mediums including installation, sculpture, illustration, sound, and video.

Developed exclusively for Franklin, this exhibit extends from the waterfront itself into the chambers, kilns, and rafters of the shed, inviting visitors to consider fog as an atmosphere that can cloak us in unexpected ways.

That Spirit of You

All Held Within
Feel all that’s ever Been

That perfect Cure
Passions the Lure
To be Sure
Be Bold

All held within

Feel all thats ever been

To have and to hold
All held within
Can't let Go
I'm given to sin

Now's in the way.
Twilight we play.

Open my Soul
Craven it's toll.

To have and to hold

All held with in
Can't let Go
I'm given to sin
Given to sin

To have and to hold

Open my Soul
Craving it's toll.
Open my Soul
My soul wants it's do

To have and to hold

To have and to hold
All held in sin
Can't let Go
Till I bring you in

To have and to hold
All held with in
Can't let Go
I'm given to sin

Open my Soul
Craven it's toll.
That perfect cure

My soul wants its do.
The Spirit of You.

Don't want to be Blue
Give me that Spirit of you
Give me that Spirit
Give me that Spirit
To have and to hold

Have and to hold
All held in sin

Can't let go
Till I bring
Bring you in
Give me that Spirit
That Spirit of you
