EMOMStreams Came across Craven Faults totally by chance but fell in. Its wonderful how the music feels both full and empty. I work from home and this is perfect engaging music to either chill to and almost meditate to or have on while I get on with some complex work (I can't do this with all music). I also love the mystery around who the artists is :). Keep making this kind of music whoever you are :)

joegardener Music of place and not mere introspection. There maybe introspection. But introspection is subordinate to the space we find ourselves in.
I like analogue. You can hear the wires hum and sing. Warm to the touch. Not a digital emptiness. I am enjoying exploring Craven Faults. Climbing. Seeing. Vertigo. Resting. Descending.

about

Bounds follows Craven Faults’ second full-length album Standers. Following loosely in the footsteps of 2020’s Enclosures release, here’s another 37-minute journey through Northern England via a lifetime obsessing at the fringes of popular culture. New details and perspectives. Dusk gathering.

There’s some discussion over where this journey begins. Certainly, less than twenty miles north-west of the city, but possibly much closer. Ironic given we’re searching for a distance marker. A gritstone pillar is the prime candidate - destroyed by lightning almost 200 years ago, and then rebuilt a quarter of a mile away. A curiosity. Many a journey starts here these days, as we take flight and head further north and west. The tarn was drained in 1940 to protect critical infrastructure. We leave the sounds of heavy industry behind us to float weightlessly over the moors.

We pick up pace and hit those levels of repetition engineered to the highest standards in Düsseldorf and Köln, 1971. A gift to the world. At this point the altitude is no longer clear; there’s no sense of scale. We could be a matter of inches from the ground, but the patterns are the same. Eventually we arrive at a hillside with no defined boundaries. The limestone pavement is visible in parts, and snaps us into focus once again.

It’s a little way east for our next stop, very close to where the journey began on Standers. Documents from 1651 suggest an arbitrary drawing of boundaries, the distribution of power and wealth set down in pen and ink and then passed down through generations. We beat a path around the perimeter. The divides still exist although the crab apple tree is long gone. Melodies give way to bent notes and dissonance.

We take a circuitous trip to Hamburg and Rome for filming between February 11 and April 23, 1972. A slower pace. Less structure, but emotive, evolving. The master touch, indeed. One final job before retiring and living off the land for the next 373 years.
