From a 200-year-old old water mill in Cumbria UK, Petteril (the moniker of James Gilbert) makes emotive, textural, electroacoustic music inspired by the complexities of the human condition, nature, and the parallels between the two. Using a dying accordion, baritone guitar, field recordings, and electronics, Gilbert improvises, manipulates, and processes sound to craft narrative-driven musical collages — a cathartic response to personal struggles and rural remote living. His last project "CYRE" was released via Puremagnetik on September 9, 2021.
