2013 begins with an invite to research & develop “Of The Things We Do Not See” at The Barbican’s Pit Theatre in London . We are very happy with the outcome resulting in the development of a new piece to be shown at The Print Room. We are also to be included in this years season at The Grange Park Opera in Southampton.

Our questioning & development of “A Sound Mind” will be a strong focus for us this year with carrying out a double blind clinical test with a neuroscientist to measure the impact of  these compositions on stress related illness.

So as the great hunt for a Neuroscientist continues, I don my white suit & lead my workshop on singing from the heart, practicing song cycles, interval balancing song, String drones & some very beautiful ascending normal scale singing with Clemmie Franks, Tara Franks & Elena. Please see below a rough sketch of the beginnings of our Drone cycle.

Here are is two films of the track to play at mixing together.

NEW RELEASE COMING SOON.

Montpatry Press Basements Tapes are digging out Petra Jean Phillipson’s recordings of a tribute to here favorite singer, Karen Dalton. Originally recorded for Youth’s Label “What The Folk”back in 2006, sadly the label like many small independents closed down before its release. A mixture of LIVE & studio recordings can be found here in this very limited edition release.

Her band includes the masterful Mr Paul May, Dom Lash, Nell Catchpole, Simon Tong, Trever Moss & Hanna Lou.

An extra track by Mr Duke Garwood will also be included as a special edition.
