Western Wind (electronic)

from Western Wind by Audio Obscura

/
  • Limited Edition Compact Disc
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This album was recorded in stages between Summer 2015 and Spring 2016, at its core are a number of radical new versions of Western Wind.

    Western Wind is a traditional lyric-poem dating from 1150-1500 C.E.
    As a lyric poem it acquired the tune later but both tune and words, as we'd recognize them today are recorded in print from a collection dated to 1530.

    The tune and poem are taken apart electronically and reinterpreted through ambient and electronic forms, fusing the choral history of the tune with the possibilities of technology.

    Vocals on Track 2 and 4 are by Bird Radio www.birdradio.co.uk

    Track 4 features Michael Ridge on home-made spring rack instrument.

    Strings are played by The Sound Celestial Orchestra

    All other sounds and electronics by Audio Obscura (Neil Stringfellow)

    Cover design and sleeve by David Barrington.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Western Wind via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
