walkabout VII by Bradfield Dumpleton
Walkabout VII is the seventh in a series of semi-ambient electronic albums created during the Tasmanian covid lockdown in 2020. Each album is developed around realtime recordings of my body moving through space/time along various local bush and beach walks in SE Tasmania. Electronics have been added to create a meditative, dimensional journey.
In the state of virus lockdown, the simple act of walking can take on a different significance. On these recordings, walkabout is describing a sense of ceremony, walking the landscape of the self. Each of these albums takes me deeper into a layer of my psyche and offers reflection on particular themes in my life.
This walkabout is about beginnings.
Almost all the music on the walkabout albums has been played on the qwerty keyboard of my laptop, with sounds generated using Spitfire Lab's Soft Piano & the Surge synth plug-in.
Rhythms of life, forward motion.
A psychogenic Bark Fugue.
Walk the (black) Dog, and reach for the Star.
(Siriusly.....)
