Julia Eckhardt
Blanca
NOTES ON BLANCA BY JULIA ECKHARDT
In November 2022, I spent a month as an artist in residency at Centro Negra in the small town of Blanca in the South-East of Spain. I undertook a daily protocol of walking without plan or destination which took me into the wide, majestic, and slightly intimidating hills outside the town. Each day, after a set amount of time I stopped to make a field recording and a detail photo, and upon my return to Centro Negra, recorded an improvisation on the viola echoing the energy of that accidental place. Recording, image and improvisation became three ways of creating imprints of memory. Improvising felt similar to walking into the unknown; adventurous and slightly fearful at the same time, with the wind in the wide and karstic landscape, unhampered by the sparse vegetation, being a constant presence. Eight of these improvisations became the compositions on this release in which the wind patterns of Blanca are a guiding presence.

Catherine LambCommentary on ‘Muto Infinitas’ by Rebecca Lane
I have been slowly working on Muto Infinitas for 5 years (!) and it charts a large part of the development of my personal and musical life with Cat Lamb, and a personal practice in playing extended just intonation (or as Cat would prefer to say, rational intonation). Jon Heilbron and I consider this piece to be a work in progress – so it is in this spirit that we offer the recording.
