‘almanac for a sanguine solstice II’ is the elaboration of two synchronised journeys on the 2020 winter solstice, separated by 400 miles on Britain’s east coast.
Songs present on ‘almanac for a sanguine solstice I’ have been arranged for solo instruments/voice, aiming to condense elements of the landscape with the body. Track 9, mimorian, featuring Obakegaku お化け学, brings together the whole journey, manipulating audio from almanac for a sanguine solstice I & II.

‘almanac for a sanguine solstice I’ is the documentation of two synchronised journeys on the 2020 winter solstice, separated by 400 miles on Britain’s east coast. Amplified by untrained, fragile voices, Mark and Callum sacrifice different melodies while gradually allowing the influence of their surroundings to control their song.
