Helen Rivero & Ian Blake
Lullabies serve to sooth us, to comfort us with sweet familiarity and hope for the future, but also to help us deal with our fears. Some of this music can be unsettling in the way of the logic of dreams: images and characters arise briefly before us, and fade and change as we cross the threshold into sleep. For us, this music can reflect states of mind which we experience during waking, sleeping and the places in between. We play with text sound and language through lullabies from around the world, with improvisations vocal, instrumental and computeral. Helen - voice and pixiphone. Ian Blake - woddwinds, keyboards, strings and lots of other bits and pieces. Peter Kennard - percussion. Julian Thompson - cello
