Tim Hill : Leviathan Whispers LP

Описание: Leviathan Whispers is an album of longings, laments, deleriums and drones where brass and woodwind instruments sing over and through autumnal netherlands. There are breaths, hums and bone songs for shadows and flames to dance to.

Tim Hill is an inspirational figure within the UK arts, jazz, noise and improv world. Since the 1980's he's operated as a shapeshitfing maverik, fearlessly exploring Britain's diverse musical traditions, from rough music to industrial folk, free jazz to dub, post-punk to avant-rock, incorporating electronics, hymn, noise and drone. Having worked with pioneering arts company Welfare State International, he's performed inside Stonehenge, on the back of trucks at Notting Hill Carnival, leading giants through the streets of London, Dublin and Galway, at Olympic Torch events, cooked celebratory feasts, written wassail songs, and led humanist funerals.

This new album presents a darker, more contemplative side to his work, with tracks created for art installations, outdoor processions, solo performances and personal meditations. Inspired by landscape and the eternal pull of Blake's Albion, baritone, alto and soprano saxophones are mixed with tape loops, synths, recycled live recordings, industrial percussion, woodwind and reeds.

Sounds are further processed by Colin Potter (Nurse With Wound) and drone artist Jonathan Coleclough. The artwork and accompanying videos feature sound sculptures by Michael Fairfax (The Royal Society of Sculptors) alongside visuals by film-maker and junk-alchemist David Young.

Fans of Colin Stetson, John Surman, Anna Von Hausswolff, William Basinski and La Monte Young will find much to savour on this new 12" LP.

Presented on 150 recycled and randomly coloured 12" LPs, Leviathan Whispers will be in record stores from Friday 14th November and preordering on bandcamp from Friday 31st October / Halloween.
