Home Tapes
Home Tapes is a triptych of sonic theatre pieces by artists on the Erased Tapes label, reflecting on the concept of ‘home’.
Composer-saxophonist Daniel Thorne, multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick, and singer-songwriter Douglas Dare each conjure a distinctive space from the architecture of their musical practice, sketching details with storytelling and binaural sound design, and invite the listener into these private worlds. Written, performed and recorded under varying states of lockdown, the project aims to furnish a sense of shared place and rekindle a spirit of hospitality at a time of enforced alienation.
EP01 Two Different Skies
Composer-saxophonist Daniel Thorne contrasts vivid, sensuous impressions from his childhood home of Perth, Australia, and from his adopted home of Liverpool, England.
Written, composed and performed by Daniel Thorne. Editing and dramaturgy by Patrick Eakin Young. Full credits at www.soundworlds.org.
EP02 Local Landscapes in the West of Ireland
