thesinisterinsult Bloodied hands and fields with nowhere to hide from the blazing sun. This is music torn from scorched earth. Favorite track: Golden Torcs and Ancient Hymns.

about

"In the blazing August heatwave I drove along the Waveney Valley past scorched remains of the recent field fire at Stockton. I turned into the long drive of the Hall grounds where the church resides and rattled over the cattle grid, slowly passing the animals who were sheltering from the heat together under a single tree. I longed that the church would still be cool from the night before and empty of people. Leaving my car on the dry meadow I walked the stony path alongside the woods and pushed the oak and iron door open. Inside I said hello to the familiar names carved into the stone floors and marble walls and began our conversation." LC

The music was recorded on Thursday 11th August 2022 in St Andrew's Church Raveningham, Norfolk, UK by Laura Cannell. Performed on Church Organ and Overbow Violin with field recordings of bells and a tawny owl from her garden. The mic was placed on a pew 4 ft behind her as she faced the pipes and keyboard.
