Transmissions / Volume One
“... exploring in various ways the idea of the bucolic colliding with the brutish or strange, creating a compelling coherence not always present in similarly curated releases.”
The first in a series of charity fundraising compilations, Transmissions / Volume One, is a mapping of interests and affinities, a setting out of current coordinates, a taking of bearings but also a projection of possible routes of travel. Released as a double CD with an accompanying book featuring the work of our good friend, the printmaker Peter Green OBE.

“... a beautiful record from an exceptional cast of musicians and noise-makers.”
“By overseeing a conversation between cerebral electronics and traditional music, Blackford Hill curators Simon Lewin and Tommy Perman are connecting dots and forging healthy ecosystems with artists.”
Transmissions / Volume One will include King Creosote’s reimagining of Stopping Out, which originally formed part of the Concrete Antenna remix project, Score Tae The Toor.
