Open edition
Street Druid merges acoustic, manipulated and electronic sound using saxophone, synth, voice, guitars & drum machine, and features drum kit from Mercury-nominated artist, Moses Boyd.
It features artwork by Byzantia Harlow. It is at once tender, psychedelic and fierce. It is not interested in genre or category. It lasts just under 45 minutes.
A prelude for the future, hands join to cast a peace spell. Consciousness is vast water seeking divine essence and meaning where colours merge and refract. The street druid walks through the night, a benevolence in the darkness, guiding you home. Immersed in noise, life can feel empty, like hollow vessels, a sentient interlude. At times we are found in Gaia's rhythm, kinetic and rebuilt, transcending through the impact of sound on the body. Every moment is a new change, a new challenge, a new life, we must ride the wave if we are not to be caught adrift or drown. Trying to keep hope intact, we must not retreat into fear, recognise we all live here in Longville and stop the fire before it engulfs us all.
Saxophone, guitar, bass, voice, synths, drum programming by Ben Vince
. Additional mixing by Dylan Mallett, vermona drum programming assistance by Kailin, outro guitar on track 3 by T. Morgz, drum kit on tracks 4 & 8 by Moses Boyd.
Written and produced by Ben Vince.
Mastered and cut by Noel Summerville.
Sculptures and artwork by Byzantia Harlow.
Design by Nicola Tirabasso.
