about

ECHOLOCATION: Resonate From Here is a project created by the multi-instrumentalist composer and performer Laura Cannell (violin/overbowed violin and recorders). It is an experiment in collaboration with a mix of duos, remixes and re-workings by an incredible array of artists all using as a starting point new and unheard material by Cannell. The 12 track album is of no fixed genre, the artists are the core, and the thread is Cannell’s music whether in its original form or changed state.

"The music on Echolocation is tied together by a powerful sense of landscape and place. It is meditative and thoughtful, often drifting into a dreamlike state."
THE QUIETUS 

"Created in collaboration with like minds... the results are wonderful... dive in and let this inhabit your home."
THE WIRE MAGAZINE

It brings the strength of many traditions from neo-classical, traditional folk, electronic and medieval, moving between dreamlike states to open landscapes to electronic dance music at a party which has gone on til early dawn. Alongside Laura Cannell it features an incredible line up of UK, USA and Ireland based musicians: Gazelle Twin, Kathryn Tickell OBE, Lori Goldston (Earth/Nirvana), Nik Colk Void (Factory Floor/Carter/Tutti/Void), Rakhi Singh (Manchester Collective/Vessel) and Kate Ellis (Crash Ensemble & currently touring with Bono).

From a converted victorian Dovecote at Snape Maltings in Suffolk to studios in Seattle, Ireland and the outer reaches of England, the call began. Echoing through the air, a lone voice by the river Alde expanded and grew until it reached six musicians and inspired a response. A call to create something that resonates from wherever they might be emotionally and geographically.

“Growing up I couldn’t see myself reflected anywhere in the music that I played or wanted to play. Now I know that it always begins here, wherever we are, we have to follow what we have inside, make that our starting point, listen for it to resonate and set it free. I wanted to use this moment to celebrate and work with inspirational women in music. Artists who show that there is no set path, and give fully of their creative selves.
Between the reedbeds of Suffolk, to the windswept open horizons of Northumberland; from Dublin City, through English counties to Wales and then to Seattle, I lit a beacon and waited for a response. I yearned to connect. To call out from here and and see what would come back. To know that I am not alone, that my sound will resonate in bright daylight and under midnight skies, and that it will be heard and will spark something in another person. We live in emotional landscapes - We are emotional landscapes.” L. Cannell

What returned to Cannell was a glimpse into the minds of six artists, six locations, six women who live and breath music no matter what else is going on in their lives. Six women who inspire her and thousands of others too.

Echolocation began in The Dovecote Studio at Snape Maltings in Suffolk, UK, a formerly ruined victorian dovecote on the edge of wide coastal marshes and the home to Benjamin Britten’s world renowned concert hall. Cannell began by composing this music during her residency at Festival of New ( September 2022) at Britten Pears Arts and created six new tracks which she sent to six musicians. Only one of her tracks appears on the album in it’s unaltered state ‘Sonar Forests’, the rest have been absorbed into the response tracks as remixes, collaborations, re-compositions and re-workings, but the thread is always there.

The Origins and Responses were written, performed and recorded by Laura Cannell - Violin, Overbow Violin, Double Recorders & Bass Recorder, Kate Ellis - Cello, Rakhi Singh - Violin, Voice & Electronics, Nik Colk Void - Electronics, Kathryn Tickell OBE- Northumbrian Pipes/Fiddle, Gazelle Twin - Electronics/Voice and Lori Goldston - Cello

“Part of the concept behind Echolocation: Resonate from Here, is the need to support women in music. I wanted to reach out, celebrate and create something with people who are truly inspiring musicians. This project was made possible with the support of the Arts Council England, I was able to offer time and space for each of us to make something new.” L. Cannell

'ECHOLOCATION: Resonate From Here', was supported by Arts Council England Project Grants National Lottery Funding, Britten Pears Arts and produced by Laura Cannell and Brawl Records.
