Скачать или смотреть Stuart Bowditch and Jon Kipps - Fogou (Live at Sonorities Festival, Queens University, Belfast 2018)

It's taken a very long time but sound from the collaboration between Stuart Bowditch and Jon Kipps 'Fogou' has now been released on Courier and available as a double mini CD or download at https://hybernation.bandcamp.com/merch

'Fogou is a sound installation consisting of a sculpture made by Kipps turned into a sonic instrument using a contact mic amp and transducer by Bowditch.

For this touring sound installation Kipps and Bowditch used the theme of a Fogou to splice their interest in ancient structures with contemporary rituals of experiencing live music.

A Fogou is an ancient underground drystone wall cavern found in Cornwall. After 2000 years their intended use is still unclear (one present-day theory suggests that journeying through a Fogou allows access to an alternate dimension).

The performance was an improvised manipulation and layering of the unique tone produced by the sculpture to bring a durational aspect to sculpture and a physical shape to sound.'

There are 6 studio tracks and 2 excerpts from performances that took place at Lizzy Mason's May Projects and Sonorities Festival in Belfast in 2018.

As well as the download and CD versions, a super limited (5) Economy Pack is also available featuring sound works by Bowditch (Fonema, Alchemy 4, Yarcade), and two collaborations with Jon (Fogou and ??). The mystery fifth release is unique to each set and will be shipped with the CDs.
