Part of Arctic Circle - The Resonance of Music with Water
Philip Jeck
Touch recording artist Philip Jeck is an award-winning turntablist feted for collaborations with the likes of Gavin Bryars. Using dusty vinyl records and processed Dansette record players, the Liverpudlian conjures a galaxy of poignant, immersive textures - not least on An Ark for the Listener, a new work inspired by Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem The Wreck Of The Deutschland.
"An aspiration in answer to an inspiration, out of music shaped by all the sea has claimed, as is the inevitable shipwreck of our existence. Salvaged out of vinyl, by way of ear, hand and electricity."
"And I have asked to be... out of the swing of the sea." (G M Hopkins)

Janek Schaefer

Tonight he performs ‘Phoenix & Phaedra holding patterns' his latest composition for FM transmitter, 9 portable radios, surround PA, and an empty stage, as we motor along the waterways of our sonic imagination.
