An immersive and interdisciplinary album experience exploring the cycle of birth, life and death in an endlessly complex world.
In early 2024, at Brantwood, Coniston Water, Cumbria, the project took shape, with Johannes Brahms’ Vier Ernste Gesänge (Four Serious Songs) at its musical starting point.
Contralto vocalist Jess Dandy, composer Alex Mills, pianist Dylan Perez, audio visual artist Bobby Williams, photographer Clare Park and movement artist Debbie Green, are collaborating to create a recording, an audio-visual exhibition, an artist’s book, and a live event that can be adapted to different venues. This January, February and May we continue our work together....
United in our belief that the arts can heal both psychologically and spiritually, we are creating work that draws deeply on the past by interrogating how internationally known scripture syncretises with local environments and personal histories. Behind the apparent pastoral idyll of Coniston Water lies a valley marked by centuries of mining and deforestation. This project will use music, voice, sound, performance, photography and movement to reveal the joyous and painful interaction between human beings and nature – the vast web of natural, industrial and cultural interconnection, hiding in plain sight.
In a world obsessed with novelty, Music and Being is radical in the truest sense: i t explores the ‘radix’, the root of how we came to be in this place, how we can experience it fully and move forward together.

The Lyric “I”, 2021, is a narrative photographic series by Clare and I that interprets/visually imagines Anne Gruenberg’s poetry and is included in our self-published book A Square Foot of Sky. I perform ‘The Dancer’ who portrays the desolation and reawakening from Anne’s mental breakdown over a 12-year period in secure institutions. For Clare and I, The Dancer is the expressive conduit to Anne’s work; Anne’s creativity as a theatre designer was rekindled with the idea of The Dancer as protagonist. The Dancer wears the theatrical/archetypal red dress Anne sourced; she moves in different landscapes with different props. It is this combination that creates the heightened reality, symbolism, and spirituality redolent in each colour image.
