In drawing upon the physical structures and historical experiences of these river systems, the impact of industrialisation following European colonisation, and the audible by-products of its living ecology, Alluvial Gold slowly unravels to reveal itself over nine interconnected movements across eleven tracks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn each movement, different combinations of sculptural percussion-modelled on dolphin bones, native oyster shells and estuarine ecology-are brought together with vibraphone and percussion. Live electronic processing and recordings of the riverbed and water's surface-from air bubbles, shell rustles, crustacean movements, shifting algae, moss and plants-are fluidly and subtly integrated with Devenish's live performance, creating a striking sonic tapestry in constant ebb and flow, a mysterious world of floating sounds that spin off from one another, offering an immersive sonic image.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial - Source - Object\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConfluence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Cascades\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAlluvial Fans and Meanders\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpiritual Water in the Mouth of the River (part 1)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpiritual Water in the Mouth of the River (part 2)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImprovisational Interlude\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCrystalline Water in the Mouth of the River\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeath in the Mouth of the River\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Place of the Eagle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEngulfment - Emancipation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e HUDDERSFIELD CONTEMPORARY RECO\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classical\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 05\/03\/24\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5060217670309\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"PROPER MUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44503680778489,"sku":"HCR32","price":14.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/products\/HCR32.jpg?v=1709995710","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/louise-devenish-stuart-james-alluvial-gold-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
