Performed by Morrad + McArthur.
Write Morrad and McArthur, "Our output as artists and in particular presenters on Wave Farm depends on regular long form improvisations to which we have dedicated a considerable amount of time over recent months. We’ve consciously stripped back our instrumentation to just sax and guitar with none of our usual use of field recordings, electronics or code. Itinerant Mind this month epitomizes this. Comprised of edited parts of four improvisations that together extend over four and a half hours this mix is high pitched and intense…kind of “brittle” in it’s sonic qualities. A word used to describe our sound in a recent WIRE review."
Annie Morrad and Ian McArthur live at opposite ends of the planet. They compose and play collaborative sound work and live performances through the use of digital software Mixlr and Skype. For live events McArthur broadcasts electronic sounds, field recordings and live mixing. Morrad plays live improvised alto and tenor saxophone against these. For their recorded sound work the starting points vary from being concept driven to "I've got this idea…."
