The 29th record released on AD93 by electronic maestro Lord of the Isles and poet Ellen Renton was during the tumultuous summer of 2020. This release, a combination of ambient electronica and poetry, explores the fragile beauty of our world whilst simultaneously painting luscious auditory landscapes which feel organic despite their electronic and synthetic composition. Both my parents and I had a strong emotional reaction to this record as we sat together listening to it for the first time.
I concluded 2 years of student radio with this special entitled 'Anam' - Scots gaelic for soul. Music - Lord of the Isles Poetry and Interview - Ellen Renton
Since this broadcast, Lord of the Isles has gone on to release the albums 'Night of the Endless Beyond' and 'Subtle Thoughts' and furthe developed his own Dusk Delay imprint. Ellen has recently announced a new project hosted at the AGITATE Gallery from 17th-31st May which asks, what does 'seeing' really mean?
