Track contribution for the Linear Obsessional Recordings compilation album "A View From A Hill"

linearobsessional.bandcamp.com/album/a-view-from-a-hill

105 tracks (each exactly 2 minutes long) compiled and curated by David Little (AKA smallhaus)

"A View From A Hill" continues the tradition of an open access compilation released on Christmas Eve. The title theme was suggested to encourage contributors to work with ideas of landscape, but with a related theme of unease suggested by the title, which is also happens to be the title of a memorable short story by the writer MR James. The result is a compilation, three and half hours long, which runs fthrough field recordings, drone, songs, folk music, spoken word and works either as a shuffle-play bonanza or as a sustained meditation.

Available as a Free Download with accompanying PDF booklet. theme for this year’s compilation was really the first thing that occurred to me – maybe the time of year puts me in mind of MR James – the title comes from one of his ghost stories, or maybe because when I volunteered, I’d just spent a day in Hebden Bridge, nestling amongst the Pennines. Anyway, the theme seemed to suggest two things close to my heart – landscape / countryside; and eeriness.
I’m very pleased with the results and I hope you are too. Some artists have concentrated on the Jamesian aspects of the title, recorded or interpreted landscapes of importance to them, or combined both. I’ve loved hearing results from artists living down the road to me (almost literally in some cases) to ones from the other side of the world (Australia, Asia and the United States to name a few).
This album was sequenced in submission order – so listen to it in whatever order you see fit.
A huge thanks to all the artists who took part.
