Jetsam Album Launch: Foul Areas
Foul Areas is a series of pieces created and performed by Jetsam in response to the coastal landscapes of the UK. Through the transformation of nautical depth soundings of wrecks and other foul grounds into specific sonic frequencies, Jetsam have created a series of tunings and modes which are site-specific to each location where the data was collected. Drawing on influences including John Luther Adams, Pauline Oliveros, Eliane Radigue and R Murray Schafer, Jetsam weave together re-tuned cellos, guitar and bass with microtonal flutes, field recordings and electronics in an exploration of the maritime history of these islands and our relationship to the sea that surrounds us.
This event celebrates the release of Jetsam’s first two works in this series - Kilve off the coast of Minehead in Somerset and Sea Palling in North Norfolk. Both works will be performed with films by designer Peter Mumford (https://www.petermumford.info/) which have been specially commissioned for this release.
Jetsam are a contemporary ensemble who create and perform original and commissioned works. Drawing on ambient electronica, dance music, avant rock and chamber orchestration, Jetsam create sound-worlds which are situated within liminal and otherworldly spaces.
Jetsam are:
Detta Danford – flutes
Sam Mumford – guitars
Heather Truesdall – cello
Natasha Zielazinski – cello
Jo Wills – bass and electronics
