Fourey-Leet by there are no birds here

Fourey-Leet was created to mark my live appearance at ExBuryMental 9 which took place on January 25th 2023 in Bury St Edmunds.

A limited edition of 20 tapes were produced and distributed at the event (and some were sent out to close friends around the globe).

Side A: 'Allus' is a recording of a rehearsal for my set. A small motor excites the strings of a prepared guitar, with the signal then passed through a fuzz/distortion/tremolo chain. Foraged objects are used to rub, scrape and tweak the strings to create a unique improvised performance. A drone underpins the shifting harmonics. A camera timer was placed on top of a homemade plate reverb to mark the passing of time.

Side B: 'Nivva' is a quieter improvisation using tape loops to create delayed rhythms and using different foraged items to manipulate the prepared guitar.

The third track is the live performance itself recorded on the night by Stuart Bowditch. I have cleaned up the bottom end a little but everything else has been left untouched.
