about

Foul Areas Double Album

Foul Areas is a series of pieces created and performed by Jetsam in response to the coastal landscapes of the UK. Through the transformation of nautical depth soundings of wrecks and other foul grounds into specific sonic frequencies, Jetsam have created a series of tunings and modes which are site-specific to each location where the data was collected. These include the Severn Estuary (Kilve) off the coast of Minehead in Somerset and Sea Palling in North Norfolk. Combining the tunings with seismic data from the areas, Jetsam have created ‘landscape scores’, which form the structural basis of the work.

Foul Areas is a visceral exploration of depth, darkness and slow and unfolding beauty. Drawing on influences including John Luther Adams, Pauline Oliveros, Eliane Radigue and R Murray Schafer, Jetsam weave together re-tuned cellos, guitar and bass with microtonal flutes, field recordings and electronics in an immersive exploration of our relationship to the sea that surrounds us.
