that the whole world is contained in a grain of sand trying to smooth your body out so that you can become underwater in a shallow stream, in what used to be the deepest part of the river, in the only water in Fisherfield, which is melting off the snowfield of the Maiden. Flat, high summer. heavy / light; coda (long and free) ​ we washed in rivers and smelled like shady river banks and dark red peaty water. ​ ​ (RE)

about

*

This album is a collaboration between Rufus Isabel Elliot and Harry Gorski-Brown.

*

Three sexual pieces for solo violin is a work by composer Rufus Isabel Elliot, written 2018-2020. Harry Gorski-Brown performs as the solo violin, and the release includes a remix of the music by Gorski-Brown.

*

The music begins with ‘PASS’, which starts when the tarmac runs out in the mountains and the rough gravel track begins, and concerns a violent encounter. The string trio wears its guise as the passes, plateaus, and peaks of the Caucasus mountains, and the solo violinist begins to tell its story.

‘Tillage [without violence]’ is composed of phrases from Shakespeare’s sonnet sequence, concerning love in conjunction with the fleeting beauty of the world. It imagines not a single (violent) encounter, but many, many encounters between the passive earth and the plough.

‘a piece of horizon has been arching ur back’ concerns a romance of the flat summer highlands.

‘rain coming; some degree West’ by Harry Gorski-Brown abstracts moments from Three sexual pieces, reordering them into a wandering journey across open space and towards any elevated plain.

*

The music was recorded in Dennistoun over three nights in November 2020.
