Nature is a language – can’t you read?
Nature is a language – can’t you read? was written for Icebreaker in 2015. It is a reorganisation / reconstruction of material from Michael Gordon’sYo Shakespeare, a classic of visceral, driving rhythmic patterns from Icebreaker’s repertoire (recorded on the albumTerminal Velocity. The reorganisation here is by turns sparsely then densely populated with points of sound and fragments of grit and noise generated by overheard field recordings, that lurch into life then vanish.
Paul Whitty's recent work has revolved around a series of interventions in pre-existing contexts - re-reading, re-organising, re-categorising, re-distributing and re-sounding the materials. These works stem from an obsession with the provenance of musical materials. These include a re-organised version of Franck's violin sonata in A Major and an intervention in a physical sites - Vauxhall Cross Gyratory - examining its past as the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens and present as a monument to our ruinous car culture.
