Richard Skelton LP - Selenodesy

Richard Skelton - Selenodesy Skelton's music has always been rooted in landscape, in the loam and grit of the earth: from his 2009 Pennine Moors-inspired modern classic 'Landings' to his more recent Moraine Sequence of geological excavations, his work has been bound inexorably with the stark and untended wilderness of northern landscapes. With this album, however, Skelton shifts his gaze skyward - in part the result of a move in 2017 to the countryside near the Kielder Observatory, and to a so-called 'dark sky' region of the UK. In this remote landscape, light pollution is minimal, allowing the austere majesty of the night sky to be seen with greater clarity. Disc 11. Albedo View - Richard Skelton2.
