Sybella Perry - Rustic Airs - Vinyl LP

All recordings, generative-processing, composition & mix by Sybella Perry. Field recordings made in and between Rotterdam & Hoek van Holland, Netherlands, Harwich & Warwick, England, 2019. Piano Accordion, Banjo & Voice by Campbell Perry. Piano, Melodica & Voice by Jan Perry. Recorded at Old Milverton Village Hall & Monk’s Kirby Village Hall, Warwickshire, England, 2019. Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi. The publication/ vinyl uses the example of ‘airs’, interchangeable melodies from folk songs, that travelled around Britain and were adapted, in search for a way of thinking that addresses mobility, transformation and plurality. In an approach that combines generative electroacoustic composition with instrumental recordings of folk music and critical writing with travelogue, change appears in the gaps between notes and narratives, between people, between spaces and places, words, sounds and topical fields.
