A COMPENDIUM OF BEASTS Vol 2, Laura Cannell

“Humans have always looked to animals to understand ourselves better, and though the bones may be the same, our needs and meanings have changed. This is like a modern day Medieval Bestiary in sound, but instead of collecting the real and imagined animals and beasts of the past to teach morals, I am trying to capture the feral essence of the beasts for a few minutes before setting them free again.

It feels like a catch and release of emotion, of sound and of understanding. The animals serve as inspiration for my playing, the instruments I play feel like creatures to me, they breathe and fly and spin off in unexpected directions.”

I remain in awe of the beauty of her work and her insane production speed. I love that she can generate a year of EPs as well as full albums scattered through each year. Absolutely inspirational.
