Decoys

We kept moving; there was no other choice.  Underfoot felt as though time had been composted, its roots were crosshatched with debris and discarded tech. You could read the materiality of the landscape like an archeological ruin, listen to it like a witness (Carlyle & Wright, Liner Notes, 2018).

Part of an ongoing collaboration between Angus Carlyle & Mark Peter Wright, Decoys is the first release from multi.modal recordings. The work (side A) is an experimental foley (post-production sfx) artwork that propels listening towards a scorched earth scenario in which a more-than-human figure navigates the landscape. A graphic score was also produced and interpreted for side B by Alison Blunt, Claudia Molitor and Tullis Rennie.
