U - Archenfield

An experimental exploration of regional identity, Archenfield is a deeply personal collection of ambient music and found sound that examines the relationship between geographical space and aural histories.

To construct this record, U mined a wealth of recorded material relevant to the area. With a nod to traditional music, he takes samples from these records and creates beautifully atmospheric sound pieces that are often mixed with painstakingly researched snippets to create a stirring reflection on local history and broader themes of how we interact, or even fail to interact, with English folklore today.
