about

Inoculate Me brings together three collaborations between Will Montgomery and Carol Watts. Each was arrived at in a different way. With Mother Blake, voice recording and text – which draws on Blake, Eva Hesse and Pina Bausch – preceded Will's audio. For T.R.E.E. (Total Rare Earth Elements), the text, generated by pencil drawings, followed the sounds. These were derived from woodland recordings made in and around London. With Pitch, which reacts to the work of Luigi Nono and Paolo Virno's notion of an 'accustomed place', text and audio emerged in parallel. All three share an interest in immune response: what it means to take in a damaged world, 'kicked in to harm/ & lightness'.

===============

Brian Olewnick: "Two really lovely, deep and enjoyable recordings, Montgomery's 'After Black Pond' and his collaboration with Carol Watts, 'Inoculate Me'. The latter is one of the best field recording/voice melds I've heard; both content and delivery of the latter work beautifully. While the former is just a deep, immersive dive into a peat bog, with Feldman as a reference point! Do check them out."
