Twalif X - Dawn Edition

Audiological Research and Pathways; Case #7. Audiological contents: Twalif X (50.51 minutes). Limited to 52 copies. Hand-finished white/black CDr album in textured recycled fold out sleeve with insert and badge. Custom printed by A Year In The Country using archival Giclée pigment ink. Includes 25mm/1″ badge, secured with removable glue on a tag which is string bound to the sleeve. Back of the insert is hand numbered. Twalif X is an audiological journey through one night; the album was recorded between dusk and dawn on the 12th/13th May 2014 in Robin Wood, Bears Wood, Knott Wood and on Eagle Crag. All recordings were captured on one microphone and processed/mixed by N. Racker (samandtheplants / Supernatural Lancashire / Finders Keepers Records) and D. Orphan (Folklore Tapes / Pre-Cert Home Entertainment). The imagery for the release was created by N. Racker & D. Orphan using photographs taken during the outing and spliced with original artwork by A Year In The Country. "...sometimes it is as though when listening to Twalif X that you are almost next to these explorers and you find that you have travelled with them to the otherly, darker corners of the woodlands and landscape. A work that is both calm and quietly unsettling, experimental with bursts of folkloric melody that appears with the coming of the dawn..." (AYITC).

"A Year In The Country is a year long journey of and searching for an expression of an otherlyness/underlying unsettledness to the English bucolic countryside dream… and wandering about and through the trails of things that have influenced, inspired and intrigued me along the way, which will quite possibly take in the further flung reaches of folk music, folklore and what has been labelled hauntological culture."
