Green state : rehydrate

Green State : Rehydrate (13.1 surround) is a concert version of the piece within the historic Bottle Kiln; one of the interventions for Resonating Spaces at Middleport Pottery, comissioned by the British Ceramic Biennial 2019. Green State: Rehydrate uses sounds of live-clay re-hydration, as the porous, dry but unfired clay is placed in water; merged with recordings from Burslem Wares Factory (Burgess & Leigh). The vessel was thrown and waxed by Standard Practice [Joe Hartley]. The below performance is a stereo reduction from MANTIS [October 2019].
