about

One late night in the summer of 2014 I was looking out to sea from Banff, watching the whole of the sea and sky alight with a blood-red post-sunset glow. This brought to mind a painting by Heather Wilson based on the Shetland myth of the seefer, a creature usually described as a "coffin-shaped whale", which leaps clear of the water and determines the fate of fish and men according to the way it falls. More than the creature itself, though, it is a figure on a boat in the painting that inspired both this music and a poem of the same title. Reflected in that figure I saw my own fascination for northerly places and the knowledge that if you stand on the Aberdeenshire coast between Gamrie and Rosehearty there is no land between you and the North Pole. The piece uses no real-world sounds everything is digitally synthesised.
