elbejée : homeopathic waft of signal : 2019
Homeopathic waft of signal is the debut album of improvisational explorations by elbejée (Kathy Hinde [UK] and Gail Priest [Aus]). Recorded amongst rutting frogs and all watched over by feisty Shetland cows, these three pieces combine field recordings, synthesised bleeps, processed vocals, mechanised singing bowls, self-playing gongs, bird whistles, wind-up bugs, and bespoke vinyl.
This is what happens when you put two verbally vivacious, intellectually voracious, conceptually aligned yet practically divergent sound artists in an architecturally designed eco-pod for three weeks in the Scottish Highlands*. These pieces form a natural continuum of their realworld hypertextual kitchen conversations covering curry recipes, phenomenology, cheap wine appreciation, speculative realism, DIY electronics and the joys of British bird watching.
