Exercises in finding music in the mundane, number one.

Immeasurable thanks to a group of men who had no idea they were creating a piece of music for me, and never will.

Movement 1

An album inspired by my time on Bryher, off the coast of Cornwall in the Isles of Scilly.

Extensive field recordings were used on this record, from waves, birds and atmos to percussive sounds and handmade instruments from beachcombed objects. No synthesis was used, so every original sound is either an acoustic recording or something from Bryher.

'Making-Of' coming soon to my YouTube channel :)


Produced, sampled, mixed and mastered by Animus

Animus plays:
Vox, cello, acoustic guitar, various whistles, ocarina, pan pipes, kalimba, accordion, balron, tinya drum, tabla, limpet shell chimes and um... a blade of grass

I noticed a lot of compression on my album so I decided to go back through and render everything in lossless 24-bit wav quality (and took the opportunity to make a couple of minor alterations on a few tracks). It sounds far better now!
