about

these waters, close to my home in east Yorkshire, have
been a source of many days pleasure over the years.

I have always had a fondness for small rivers and canals –
their banks to walk, their unique hold on local wildlife and
of course the varied and constantly fascinating, evolving
sounds that exist due to their presence.

tracks 2 & 3 were originally released in 2008 as a limited edition 8cm cdr, in a hand folded paper sleeve, packaged with photographs.

review from 'The Wire' (December 2008 issue):

'two pieces comprising untreated field recordings of Yorkshire waterways, recorded with the composer's self built hydrophones. He insists that it's not the technical perfection of a location recording that he's after, but a sense of emotional interaction with the landscape. That's not to say that he's slapdash with his methods - both tracks have a fabulously evocative tactile quality that clearly demonstrates the composer's attention to, and delight in the most minute details of sound. The result of such open-hearted diligence is a brief, captivating mini-cd, beautifully packaged (Richard Skelton's work comes to mind), and which reminds us that listening is the most important part of composition' - Keith Moline
