Thalassing

The Hardy Tree - The Fields Lie Sleeping Underneath

Thalassing and 2nd Edition Hardy Tree

Just to clear up any confusion those on the reserve lists for 'Thalassing' and the 2nd edition of 'The Fields lie Sleeping Underneath' will get an email at the beginning of next week with details of how to pay. I'll send out those Cds first, then the following Monday you will be able to buy both CDs on the website. I hope that makes sense.

Email me on info@claypipemusic.co.uk if you want to go on either reserve list.

Printing, gluing, folding.. Thalasing and the 2nd Edition of the Hardy Tree CD are coming along. I'll be emailing those on the reserve lists soon. Both CDs will be out on the same day.

Thalassing Is On Its Way

Thalassing is slowly coming together, the CDs are back from the manufacturer and the front has been hand printed - all that is left to do is to construct the little booklet that will make up the CD cover. If you want to reserve a copy please let me know at info@claypipemusic.co.uk - there will only be 100 copies and I think this will sell out really quick.
At about the same time as the Thalassing CD comes out the second edition CDs of the Hardy Tree's 'The Fields Lie Sleeping Underneath' will also be available - please stay tuned.

Review from Terrascope

A lovely review from Terrascope:

And now for something utterly delightful. “The Fields Lie Sleeping Underneath” is a collection of gentle, eccentric and at times child-like tunes inspired by the past and present of the London neighbourhood inhabited by Frances Castle, recording here under the name The Hardy Tree. Among the ten tracks are the tale of a tragic demise, dancing at the long gone Astoria Theatre (the Finsbury Park one and not the recently demised rock-grot palace off Oxford Street) and an affirmation that the memories of the past lie slumbering beneath today’s busy, hectic urban lifestyle. The overall sound is magical and ethereal, a bit like a dream where you are never quite able to reach the end of the journey to grasp the situation you suddenly find yourself in. If there is a bucolic and innocent charm to be derived from modern day London then Ms Castle has tapped into it. One part each of Nico, a string quartet on laudanum occasionally downing tools and playing children’s toy instruments instead and 70s kiddies’ TV programme Bagpuss, this here’s a tonic for the ears.

Thalassing

The next release on Clay Pipe will be 'Thalassing' a self titled CD by a duo compromised of Michael Tanner and Kerrie Robinson. Michael has made music under many guises Plinth, Cloisters and The A.Lords to name but a few as well as recording and playing live with Mark Fry and Sharron Kraus. Last year he released the brilliant Music for Smalls Lighthouse on Second Language. Kerrie plays in Betika.

Thalassing was improvised in one night in front of projections of the sea.
