Music For Ceiling Fan And Tubes

Spare Music is a half-hour set for trombone with effects pedals and live electronics (2 players). It builds on past compositions 'Tired Music' and 'Religious Music' by Joe Snape, and is set to tour extensively in spring 2022. Written for Ian Sankey, based on an improvised performance at Sage Gateshead in October 2020. Voices stretched beyond the human, guitar and synthesizer lines spawned by loops of compressor feedback, organized algorithmically before being smoothed over and handcrafted into an engaging, strangely familiar musical narrative. This is a 6.43 excerpt from the first half of the work. For booking enquiries please consult http://joesna.pe.

Spare Music [Pre-Premiere Preview]

Eliza McCarthy & Laurie Tompkins
Years Went By
CD (E257)

Release date: April 2022
Edition of 200 copies

Eliza McCarthy: piano, keys, voice
Laurie Tompkins: music, production, voice

Begun on residency at the red studio, Aldeburgh, in January 2019.
Piano recorded by Shaun Crook at an empty Cafe Oto in April 2020.
Mastered by Yves De Mey (1–6)and Giuseppe Ielasi (7).

It started as something smooth for piano, let the notes work, 
less shouting. I sacked off that vow, took it up again, did desperate 
things to keep it all alive, and here’s the proof. 

Years Went By is a thick, unruly soup of keys and computer. 
The ornate line I wrote for Eliza is often traced and echoed by — 
or tangled up with — a second electronic voice that speaks in 
synthetic instruments and deformed recordings.

Eliza’s piano and keys need the oddest of FX to pace through 
the bog, and we both sing like torches when needed. 

Listening now, I think it’s a dreamy album, it levitates through 
a thousand grubby jumps. Like a memoir, I hope it feels like 
distance travelled, the way we stew and scrub a life. 

This is Eliza and I’s first music together. We met when I released 
her 2018 collaboration with Mica Levi on Slip.
