Loom by Propellor
Loom (n.) The slow and silent movement of water in a deep pool (Cumbrian dialect)
The sounds of waves, wetlands, and straits map the human experience of water, charting its journey backwards from the sea to the sky. Encouraging conversation and shared community experiences of our coastlines, estuaries, rivers, lakes and floodplains – Loom has been created to inspire and share our stories of these waterscapes.
The soaring instrumental score and found sounds are the sonic counterpart of a collective, human element, as the work also features recorded interviews and personal stories as told by audience members.
“An ensemble of musicians crossing the worlds of folk, classical, electronic and experimental music. It twists and turns through different sound worlds. An intriguing project.” Aidan O’Rourke (LAU)
