[Cullykhan Beach, Aberdeenshire, UK - 2 December 2019]
Cullykhan Water uses a number of recordings taken at Cullykhan Beach in northeast Scotland, ranging from tiny drips of rainwater to the crashing sea of the Moray Firth. It was composed as part of a project with artist Bryan Angus and poet Martin Malone, where each artist created a work of art in their own medium, informed by the same stimulus.
Cullykhan Water was composed in Studio Alpha at VICC (Visby International Composers Centre), Sweden.
The piece forms part of the Aides… mémoires… project with Jonty Harrison, consisting of short form pieces (3-6’) made from single field recordings. To visit the project, please go to https://bit.ly/aidesmemoires where hi-resolution concert performance versions of the piece can be downloaded.
