Spaceship – 26 April 2022

This month we’re in for a treat from Spaceship: A musician, sound artist and educator based in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, Mark S. Williamson’s work is often made in response to his environment, with his most recent major release, Outcrops (by his project Spaceship), being recorded within, and on the subject of, the geology of the Upper Calder Valley. Mark often works in the field, combining field recordings with electronic and acoustic instrumentation recorded in the outdoors. His 2015 project ‘A Hole in the Ground’ explored the ruins of Royal Observer Corps nuclear monitoring posts while ‘Stone Steps of The Upper Calder Valley’ related to subject matter closer to home. The latest Spaceship LP; ‘Ravines’, (focusses on the steep sided cloughs which line the valley from Cornholme to Hebden Bridge.

Before and after the set will be the usual shenanigans. Bring your names, your instruments and your hats. See you there!
