about

'Fasciation' is a term I learned during my early visits to Cooloorta, where Steve Stapleton has cultivated one of the most impressive cacti gardens I've ever seen. It becomes even more impressive in context, as the perpetually sodden & chilly Irish countryside is one of the last places you'd expect to find a thriving collection of plants from the desert. The term refers to the beautiful sculptural irregularities that cacti frequently develop.

This track is built upon the sound of my throat-singing into an enormous metal kettle, which at the time was the only source of hot water in the Cooloorta caravan. The odd-sounding percussion was created using those big plastic water-cooler bottles, with different extracts then looped and overlapped.
