about

Phil and Lawrence have worked together a lot over the years, principally in Evan Parker’s Electro Acoustic-Ensemble and in Colourscape. For a long time they have admired each other’s work and have thought of exploring a duo together. One way and another life got in the way, until in 2012 they spent three days at Lawrence’s studio in Buckinghamshire.

On the first day they kept to their core practice; Phil on violin and viola, Lawrence transforming Phil’s sounds with his Signal Processing Instrument. On the second day they explored Lawrence transforming his own percussion and Phil either acoustic or processing his own sound. On the third day Lawrence continued playing percussion, while transforming Phil’s sound as well as his own. Material from all three days has found its way onto this CD, which explored a rich range of the potential of their collaboration.

The Garuda is a bird-like creature in Hindi and Buddhist mythology; In Hindu mythology it is usually the mount (vahana) of Visnu, the god who goes through myriad transformations in the cyclical journey of life. There are many representations of Garuda. Maybe our imaginary birds are some of them.

Cranes are another iconic symbol. Their beauty and their spectacular mating dances have made them highly symbolic birds in many cultures dating back to ancient times. In Mecca in pre-islamic South Arabia the three chief goddesses were called the “three exalted cranes".
