  • Part of the process of writing this album included an impossible imagined correspondence. I wrote and sent letter and parcels from one part of myself to another, and these became the foundations of the music on this record. In addition to a copy of the CD and a hand-painted key-shirt, I will send you a liberation letter and parcel which will include an object / item of clothing and an accompanying instruction for a ritual. You can choose one of 5 options: Male (Beorn), Female (Cwene), Tree (Sealh), Animal (Deor) or Liberation (Aka). I will source and personalise the object / clothing for you. You can leave this as a surprise, or we can correspond and work towards something more tailored to what you are seeking.

about

Many of us are bound by chains that were forged for us in a fire of great suffering. They were passed down to us through generations, and they are easy to confuse for love due to their strength and ability to hold without letting go. They help (force) us not to get too comfortable (confident), to maintain an impossible shape and (attempt to) fulfil unfulfillable expectations. They might be invisible to the eye, but we often feel these bonds tug when we get the urge to speak or act against injustices, but don’t. This ritual Song of Liberation is to recognise that we are wearing these chains, to know what they are made of and where they come from, and that we can remove them ourselves by choice.

The Key is always close to our hearts.

Aka is an Old English word for Ropes that bind us to painful memories memories through time and space, draining our energy and affecting our ability to live our lives
