Tapping into the elements; rock, wind, fire & water... the very earth, the source of life & asking questions:-
Who's making the decisions and the bad choices that damage & deplete, cause conflict, suffering & destruction?
How much have we given up or simply lost through our disconnection from the natural world, and how can it be retrieved?
Will self-importance be allowed to win the day and therefore define the terms of humanity's decline?
Bring back the clatter & the drone, the mechanical clank, the smelting & shaping, the holler that sings out the rhythms of purposeful labour & truthful art. Bring us back our senses; the cold air, the hot sun, the rain, the storm & the sheltering from it. Let us breathe life again.
Weathering The Rocks is an extended project which is still developing through reinterpretation and collaboration. Instigated by Ed End in his Invisible Illusion guise and beginning with six long-form tracks which unfold, expand & erode in a strange organic tapestry of drone & rhythm.
When I received the original tracks it became quickly obvious that to design vocal parts over such a sprawling work would demand a lot of considered thought and committed work. I was inspired by the titles to develop ideas which referenced folk, protest songs & blues and, as such, a degree of traditional songwriting.
Once complete I felt it would be a good addition to the project to edit yet further, shortening the tracks to concentrate them more towards a condensed song structure and, in so doing, present 'vocal versions' of the longer, more instrumental pieces (which will be released later by Ed).
The Elemental Edits are, in effect, my interpretation of the project and can be seen as just one stop on the continuing journey.
