Sketches II by Black Elk (Trio)

This album contains what was due to be the Black Elk (Trio) follow up to 'Sparks'. I'd mixed the album that was more sparse, classical and long-form, already with artwork ready from Jaime once again, titled 'Anchor'. But the guys didn't connect to a certain element of it and I'd run out of energy for the project by this point, instead focusing on preparing for our shows as a duet and tour as a trio. You can find 'Anchor' as 'VII_II' here. This was the final recording I did with the elements I had, years later reworking parts for my collaboration with Danny as part of 'Faintly Recollected'.

'The Black Elk 'Sketches' series was originally made for the recent Black Elk Japan tour in December 2013. The series contains outtakes, sketches, long-form unfinished track albums and live performances which are the background to the previously released 'Sparks', as well as the to be released 'Anchor'. Sketches II also contains works in progress for the upcoming Danny Norbury & Ian Hawgood album.'

KOMU is a small record label focused on the works of Ian Hawgood and his close-knit family of friends.
