Landings (2006-2011)

Music for the West Pennine Moors of Lancashire, UK, recorded between 2004 and 2011 and published as follows:

Landings — Carousell (2006)
Landings — Richard Skelton (2009)
Rapture, Reprise — Richard Skelton (2011)

Collected in The Complete Landings (2011).

‘To pour sound between wood and stone.
Into each fissure and fault-line.
Like rain on an April morning.’

The 2009 edition of Landings was accompanied by a book of the same name - a deeply personal and unique response to the moorland landscape of Anglezarke, its history and toponymy, its hidden life and silenced voices.

The book is published by Corbel Stone Press.

‘A primeval tonal language … like the land singing to itself.’
