The mind’s eye dies for access to the million chambers we leave unlit, undiscovered in our daily flit for living, a home for the deep-sea fish who glow and sense…. Roam.
A captivating journey into a world of swinging sub bass and complex percussion, with specially commissioned tracks from maverick producer/composer Shackleton and drum&bass outfit Sion; ROAM takes as its starting point the human requirement to explore and experience, and incorporates the work of poet Rick Holland.
Life’s roaming pulse is the unstoppable condition in which life finds itself, relentlessly dragging us into the unknown, connecting moment to moment, for survival, inspiration, meaning, distraction……conscious or unconscious.
