Andi Chapple's music projects - Cumbria, England - collaborations
Sprint Mill, 2007
I developed a performance piece called 'Goat Ash Nibbled Seat' with Colin Blakey which we performed at Sprint Mill, near Burneside, Cumbria, on 1 July 2007. Sprint Mill is the home of Edward and Romola Acland, and the centre of their organic smallholding, wood products workshop, and more. Edward is also a very interesting visual artist. the piece involved my live computer processing, based on field recordings, live-generated sound, processing of a live feed from the River Sprint flowing past, and processing of Colin's playing of Galician bagpipes, percussion (including a garden bench built at Sprint Mill) and a vast Amazonian flute. the audience of 50 or so seemed to like it!
Sound and Light, 2007
this was a performance in Sedbergh on 5 December 2007 with light therapist Liz Hilton. she provided the slowly-changing pure light, and I provided the slowly-changing laptop-improvised four-channel soundtrack. sounds from Sedbergh's Christmas late-night opening festivities seeped in from the street outside; the audience came, relaxed, and moved on when they were ready.
