| Medulla is the second CD collaboration by Archer and Monk. It was originally conceived as a live performance work for the duo, but this recorded version adds virtuoso vocal orchestrations by Julie Tippetts. "Geraldine Monk's poetry activates words, makes them events rather than hollow vessels for received understanding. They play, clash, spark and rub up against one another in unpredictable ways with unforseen consequences. Archer's stylistic flexibility suits such a project, chasing the utterance, keeping it company and enriching it......Haunting." - Wire
"A postmodernist arcadia of limitless transformations.....A glittering set of variations, quite unlike anything else in music" - Ben Watson, Hi-Fi News |
