The latest Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label release is WILDE VOLK: RITES AND REVERBERATIONS.

For over eight years, Suzanne Rolfe, Melita Dennett and Kerry Boettcher have journeyed deep into the heart of Europe’s masked esoteric festivals – from the devilish Krampus parades and primordial Kramperl/ Buttnmandle of Germany, to the horned Perchten of Austria, the vibrant Kurkeri masquerades of Bulgaria, and the animistic Bear dances of Romania. Their travels, documented through photography, writing and field recordings, culminated in the immersive Wilde Volk installation at Rottingdean Windmill, on the cliffs just to the east of Brighton, in July 2025.

To conjure the aural spirit of these rites, artists from the Spirit of Gravity Collective and their associates were invited to reinterpret the raw field recordings. The result is a mesmerising soundscape of analogue textures and elemental rhythms, resonating through the photographs, sculptures and artworks of Wilde Volk, and inviting the audience to cross the threshold into another world.
