Sotto Voce is a new project from duo Luke Fowler & Vikki Morton, commissioned by Glasgow gallery The Modern Institute in collaboration with record label Redstone Press. The EP cons iders the relationship between the natural world and technology and references the pedagogical work of artist Paul Klee, who taught a holistic course on drawing at the Bauhaus in the 20's. Klee drew greatly on shapes, forms and cyclical patterns, studied and observed from nature. The minimalism of Sotto Voce's "Klee" shares these pre-occupations, but applies them to synthetic rhythms and timbres with the use of an EML 101 Analogue Modular Synthesizer, creating haunted dub mutations, foreboding ambience and melancholic meanderings in a piece of work that reflects the dark and barren Argyle landscape in which it was composed. The EP also features a guest spoken word vocal by artist Charlotte Prodger who conjures a meditation on Neolithic archeological findings on the Western Isles of Scotland. Show more
