folklore tapes folklore tapes is an open ended research project exploring the vernacular arcana of great britain and beyond traversing the myths mysteries magic and strange phenomena of the old counties via abstracted musical reinterpretation and experimental visuals the driving principle of the project is to bring the nation s folk record to life to rekindle interest in the treasure trove of traditional culture by finding new forms for its expression friday 2 june 2017 industrial folklore tapes vol ii springs bud holding his copy of springs at bps workshop end of spring 2017 posted by

email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 17 may 2017 industrial folklore tapes folklore is most often associated with the romance of rural life but this new series of releases explores industrial folklore born from the hardship and daily toil of workers in mills mines and foundries in the north of england the industrial folklore series sets out to explore a recent past embedded in family histories and still in living memory yet for the most part a forgotten bygone era that appears to have little connection to our present existence it is no coincidence that the artists who begin this series are all based in and around lancashire the birthplace of the industrial revolution a landscape silently haunted by the tangible remains of once thriving noisy

question more easily asked than answered listen close and i will tell you all that i know a black dog is a nocturnal terror a prowling and ill omened animation of the witching hour whether plying its trade as a ghost or goblin a demon or devil its principle description remains it is a horrid thing of prodigious size black and shaggy haired in the rough shape of a dog though greater in stature than any natural breed with glowing eyes as large as tea saucers that glitter and gleam in the murk its recurrent associations are with death misfortune and the darker shades to human endeavour these are dread makers that lurk in the forgotten twilit corners of this world the lanes crossroads and graveyards of isolated villages the tumuli ruins and ravines of the open moors the site at which a gibbet stood or murder was committed in more populous places they are wont to wander those associated with a particular road or lane are often said to patrol a certain stretch or beat along it while those that once haunted a specific site have frequently expanded their activities to a surrounding locale as their story waxes in its retelling these are unholy hounds that stalk their sorrowful haunts at dusk or midnight those liminal hours when the darkling night might shelter their fetid furs a black dog may appear or disappear instantaneously mutate at will shrink or swell in size emit a sulphurous stench even trail a great clanking chain behind it as it goes it may howl and yowl or roar and rumble shrieking and screeching through the squally night or it may be silent save for the unpropitious padding of its giant paws upon the ground behind how long exactly these deliria have tottered along in mankind s wake is uncertain in their most basic construction black ill defined malevolent creatures of the beyond they are likely as ancient as human fear itself yet each generation has added to the image creating a shifting legendary mongrel breed charged with myth and story black dog traditions of england tells the tales eight spectre hounds in an expansive multi disciplinary box set it is the product of extensive fieldwork conducted by ian and david throughout 2015 as well as ian s own researches into black dog folklore dating back to 2007 the lp features acousmatic sound compositions site specific field recordings and original audio of local storytellers spinning out their black dog yarns the hand treated and rust degraded film contained on the dvd incorporates materials gathered in the field such as ashes from the fireplace at dob park lodge above and scorched waterweed from troller s gill the project book is notable in its own right a detailed original study tracing the history of each black dog story from its earliest textual source to the present day the book also includes a map and full colour photographs from the project s many expeditions an embossed hand numbered and hand stamped box holds the contents firm the box set is a reliquary of objects stories and sounds centuries if not millennia in the making these are resonances of the never was artworks informed by those long forgotten who out lurking in the half light of a country lane saw shapes somehow darker than the surrounding night that preyed upon their idle minds lp tracklisting black dog summons the barguest of dob park lodge the black dog of uplyme the legend of black vaughan

mary david wassailing mid winter is the low ebb of the year the heart of the lifeless season when the sun describes a wearily flattened arc across the sky its luminosity dimmed and wan its passage brief shadows lengthen branches grow bare and bony temperatures drop and darkness prevails there is a need for cheer for hope and conviviality for reminders of spring s renewal to come old mid winter rites and rituals centring around christmastide observances and celebrations bring a little warmth and light to this chill time of scarcity and spiritual despond and it is these rites to which folklore tapes turn their collective eye in this the fourth season of the solar year the artists contributing to this limited edition cassette compilation have each researched a particular mid winter ritual and informed by their findings conjured a sound piece in response the movements take their listener on an audiological journey around the old ways of winter with acousmatic carolling text sound collage composed music and augmented field recording these are playful retellings of long forgotten observances library sounds carried on a wisp of smoke from the bonfires of winters past the cassette
