Richard Skelton as part of Saisonscape:Landscape

Event information

Richard Skelton will launch his new Inward Circles album 'Belated Movements for an Unsanctioned Exhumation August 1st 1984' at three headline UK shows including 22 March St John's on Bethnal Green London as part of Saisonscape, Art Assembly's bi-monthly series of experimental music inspired by the seasons.

Titled Landscape, these spring shows will reflect on sound born out of, or inspired by, the land, and will see Skelton performing new compositions from his forthcoming album, which will be launched at the first show where advance copies will be available. Over the past decade Skelton has amassed a significant body of work that distills the essence of natural landscapes, from the moors of Lancashire (Landings) to the mountains of Cumbria (Limnology) and the karst terrain of the west coast of Ireland (Verse of Birds). He is at the vanguard of a new movement of artists who place the land at the core of their practice.

Richard Skelton will be supported by:

Laura Cannell - Inspired by the Norfolk/Suffolk Borderlands, Laura Cannell explores the spaces between ancient, improvised, traditional and experimental music performing on overbowed fiddle and double recorders. Haunting drones drift across the flatlands and river valleys breathing new life into the lost and silent landscape.

Rob St. John - A musician and writer from East Lancashire. Working with nylon string guitars, tube organs, analogue synths, tape loops and field recordings, he's released a string of records rooted in the landscape, both solo and with projects such as Folklore Tapes, Water of Life and Bastard Mountain. His Saisonscape performances will feature live projections using organic materials and microscopic film by David Chatton Barker (Folklore Tapes).
