Wilson Tanner – II

Throwing electroacoustic conventions overboard, Andrew Wilson (Andras) and John Tanner (Eleventeen Eston) recorded this new work aboard a 1950s riverboat with a resourceful array of weatherproof electronic instruments and a long extension lead. These eight compositions pull in a by-catch of maritime folklore; of Siren and Selkie, Seagull and engine oil slick. A change of course from their debut album ’69’ (on the supreme Growing Bin Records), the ambient temperature drops as ‘II’ casts out to sea in uncertain weather and returns to the safe harbours of Port Phillip Bay.
