about

Luminous Foundation – Afon

A journey by wing and fin through Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset along the River Avon.

From the vast prehistoric henge at Marden, down to the coast at Hengistbury Head, inhabited for at least 14,000 years and, like Marden, an important ceremonial and burial site for the region’s ancient inhabitants.

Neil Mortimer (Urthona) and Mark O Pilkington (Teleplasmiste), have been playing music together in various formations for approaching two decades. Luminous Foundation sees them exploring joyous improvised electronic rhythms and abstractions on modular synthesiser, analogue keyboard and vintage drum machine. Each of Afon’s two tracks was recorded in a single take and invokes revered musical ancestors such as Cluster, Tim Blake and TONTO’s Expanding Head Band.

Like walking thru the outer realms of TRON on acid. Weird things are happening in the sky. Then you gradually notice something is not right like a storm moving in. Water starts rising at your feet. Then the people with extremely large feet show up. Todd Wakefield

You’d expect an album titled “Velociraptor” to be heavy and this doesn’t disappoint, as it’s jam-packed with serrated noise & feedback. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 22, 2023
