Invisible from Land and Sea | Catriona McKay & Alistair MacDonald | Strange Rainbow (2008)

by Catriona McKay

  • Compact Disc (CD)

    Strange Rainbow play in imaginary worlds where the familiar dissolves into the unfamiliar.
    This is a very deliberate meeting of traditions. Catriona plays a customised clarsach with sounds processed by Alistair MacDonald's laptop, along with soundscapes drawn from the environment.
    As a duo they make music that seems at once dislocated and greatly concerned with roots and connections; a rendering of traditional musical language refracted through contemporary performance technique, and then again through the transformations of live electronics to explore new, unimagined colours.

    invisible from land and sea, 2008

    until the streams overflow

    surveying the greatness of it all

    moved along by the ceaseless tide of our own forward steps

    the stones and the woods and the trees only told what you knew already

    between hope and terror

    transformed into these lacy fiery fragments


    words: Angus Peter Campbell, images/design: Robert Hakalski
