about

An Angel Fell Where The Kestrels Hover started life as the second part of a two album reflection on my emotive responses to seasonal changes, originally commissioned by Ultra Hard Gel. The double CD Snow Blind was the companion album, recorded over the same period and capturing the foreboding darkness and gloom of an English winter. An Angel Fell... focusses on the spring and summer months.

To realise the concept the tracks I chose for this album are generally lighter, less discordant and possibly even sensual, compared to the tightly compressed and claustrophobic Snow Blind. On 'Lavender Buzz' the seasonal inspiration is most literal, where the foundation of the piece is the sounds sourced from a strategically placed microphone in the middle of a clump of lavender plants recording bees collecting nectar from the flowers. As the music was actually recorded during the summer I only had to look out the window or take a walk in nearby Streatham Common to get a sense of the type of almost lazy sounds I wanted to create. Ironically, this was also one of the wettest July's on record in the UK and the frequency of the often violent thunderstorms also tainted my creative thoughts, neatly juxtaposing light and dark textures.

Aside from the weather, location was also an important factor. Reflections on physical and mental space are frequently wrapped up in the sounds I make, even at their most abstract. London was my home for nearly 6 years and this was the last recording I made consciously referencing and musing on the city before we moved back to New Zealand in 2008. In many ways the pastural reflections here appear to signify the closing of a circle that started with my first UK-based recordings that appeared on Yellow Horizon in 2004.

Rarely do spontaneous collaborations actually work. This felt like we'd been playing together for years, yet it's an unrehearsed first time together session. Magic. Peter Wright
