The Severn bore is approaching. Who are these people on the banks of the river? What are they doing? And how did the Severn get its name? This piece combines spoken word, drama and field recordings from the River Severn, telling the dark story of the river goddess Sabrina, and how she is approached in different ways.  Geoffrey of Monmouth writing nine centuries ago, is the source of this story, that begins when Britain was Albion and populated only by giants. 

Sandra Mutton and John Williams were the Narrators.
Michele Wardall wrote Severine, Mother and Daughter and Estreldis and Guendoleena,
who were played by
Florence Simpson and Naomi Zara.
Hugh Manistre wrote the Podcaster,
played by Kevin Keene
and
Rachel Freeth sang.

The narration and music were recorded indoors, but everything else on the banks of the Severn.
A Birdman750 Production.
Dedicated to the memory of Sandra Mutton.

How The River Severn Got Its Name

This piece was created as a commission for an event for climate activists in London. I called it an interspecies song as it weaves together the beauty of bird song, flowing river and human voices...

The birds recordings come from London (UK), Tumbira (Brasilian Amazon) and Felidia (Valle del Cauca, Colombia). The river being is the Athabasca that runs through Alberta, Canada.

🎶 The songs and harmonies were recorded during a water ceremony in January 2024, held at a well that goes under the Royal Court of Justice in London. Activists and water protectors gathered as the court case around the Stonehenge extension road and tunnel was about to start (for the second time), threatening the sacred spring of Blickmead. This was convened by Charlotte Pulver and Sam Lee. 

🐦 Key birds identified thanks to the app Merlin Bird ID (developed by Cornell Lab):
- Eurasian Wren, European Robbin, Great Tit, Eurasian Blackbird (UK)
- Great Kiskadee, Yellow-rumped Cacique (Brasil and Colombia)
- Tropical Kingbird, Palm Tanager, Roadside Hawk, Yellow-Headed Caraca, Clay-colored Thrush (Colombia)

MAMA returns to London after a fiercely creative time in Berlin writing and recording vocals for House and Techno’s finest and releasing two albums and a slew of EPs on many of the scene’s most prominent labels including Bpitch control and Diynamic. Following a calling to reconnect with her roots, she’s relocated to her birthplace, gone solo, stripped back her music and announced her new EP “Unmask Me” out this July on the label she made her debut on in 2008, Batty Bass.

MAMA and Hannah Holland first established the Batty Bass collective as a legendary genre- crunching House and Techno party. A high energy sweatbox and well known gathering for creatures of the East London club scene where old school ravers danced alongside fashionistas, drag queens and artists such as FKA Twigs, Santigold, Azari III and The Gossip.

“Unmask Me” is raw, deep and straight from the heart. It was conceived during a live studio jam, mid-rehearsal with Riccardo Paffetti from Black Loops, who drums for MAMA’s live show. Glitchy, twisted lead lines intertwine with a rippling bass and gritty vocals, the record open and atmospheric yet punchy and powerful, sitting somewhere between Dub and House. MAMA’s UK musical upbringing is ever-present but has been reshaped into something entirely new by her darker Berlin sensibilities. The track debuted at a Bobby Kolade fashion show and was voted best runway music by Interview magazine in 2015.

Following up from the vinyl release, which featured glistening Deep House reimaginings from legendary global dance music pioneer, former member of Xpress-2 and one of the U.K.'s most celebrated House producers, Ashley Beedle, the extended digital EP comes to light this September accompanied by an intensely intimate and thought provoking clip for “Unmask Me”. Directed by London based, progressive multi-media artist Roger Spy, it uses an Andy Warhol- esque technique, filmed in one shot as MAMA shaves her head bald on camera. A challenging statement exploring the idea of being liberated from social norms, such as the pressure of wearing European hair extensions, and the concept of transformation. It’s a brave, empowering and bold portrait. An expression of need for change and new beginnings.

Alongside the video, the EP features an extended version of the original inspired by Miles Davis’ sixteen minute pieces. Stretched out, the track takes its time to evolve, punctuated by MAMA’s poetry it undresses slowly and explores the palette of richly produced textures. Plus, W. Jeremy delivers his “Deep Rhythm Mix”, instinctual and bare, throbbing drums and a steady groove take a strong hold and drive the energy further into the night.

“Unmask Me” is a potent release and a perfect fit with the Batty Bass “genre crunching deep and dirty-dance-til-you-drop” attitude. MAMA is home.
