about

Eight years after their debut, ๐˜Š๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ˆ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜›๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด, audio-visual enquirers John B McKenna and Richard Greenan re-appear as Devonanon, to share the findings of a decade-long sonic experiment.

Like its predecessor, ๐‘น๐’Š๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’“๐’… & ๐‘ฑ๐’๐’‰๐’ is a living, breathing collection of field recordings and compositions, gathered gradually from remote corners of the pair's lives. Familiar waypoints - interwoven microtonal synths, regurgitated live performances, polite whispering, and the gurgling hum of vehicles (land and sea) - all fold into the perpetual stew.

Where ๐˜Š๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ˆ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜›๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด read like a crumpled postcard account of fraternal reportage, ๐‘น๐’Š๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’“๐’… & ๐‘ฑ๐’๐’‰๐’ is a tone poem on something more amorphous, and out of time - a garbled history of human closeness, upheaval and mark-making, that seems to buckle and creak like a tapestry with no beginning or end.

No two spoonfuls are the same, as our story reels through kosmische library stylings ('Wilderness Engine'), to cortex-quieting free association ('Generate Countryside'), and baroque instrumentation ('Blood Laughing').

Recommended if you like CS + Kreme, Pierre Mariรฉtan, Kirk Barley. ๐‘น๐’Š๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’“๐’… & ๐‘ฑ๐’๐’‰๐’ was created in conversation with the visual artist David Huang.
