Still Moves Three

Album UK 2018 on Slow Fuse Sound label
Electronic (Abstract, Ambient, Dark Ambient, Experimental)

Limited edition of 750 in a 40-page, full-colour, hardback book bound in foil-blocked and blind-embossed charcoal linen with two CDs. The third in a series of six limited-edition, full-colour hardback books, charting the evolution of the multimedia installations they have created since 1994. Each book contains interpretative texts, photographs of the installations and two CDs of re-mixed and re-imagined soundworks made for each work. Process-driven and contextually anchored, the Still Moves soundworks have been devised and produced for multi-channel, aleatoric, immersive listening within specific architectural environments. "Static" telescopes time and meaning, serving as both an elegy and a celebration of the history, culture and eradication of Tyneside’s proud ties to the sea. While its primary maritime occupations have been decimated by a shameful political ideology, within the physical and cultural contours of daily life, indelible stories held in the world beneath our feet are suggested in three tracks that explore what has been lost, taken, forgotten or ignored. "Static" also includes a powerfully emotive recording of award-winning poet Robin Robertson reading his specially written chronotopic poem, "Sea Fret". "Static" was written, recorded and produced by Russell Mills and Mike Fearon at Shed Studio, Ambleside, Cumbria, England. "Hold" is a soundwork by Eraldo Bernocchi, Mills and Fearon, with contributions from Harold Budd, Bill Laswell, Gigi and Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari. Created for a multimedia installation by Mills and Petulia Mattioli in the Palazzo delle Papesse Centro Arte Contemporanea, Siena, "Hold" integrates recordings made within the building’s former bank vaults, augmented by electro-acoustic sounds and haunting, wordless vocals. "Hold" explored ideas about possession and revelation, and about seeking alternative readings of what is presented as “truth”. The original mixes of the five tracks were produced by Bernocchi at Verba Corrige Production, Castagneto Carducci, Italy, with additional production by Mills and Fearon at Shed Studio.
