New release on the Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label: Andrew Greaves – Headspace

Posted on by Spirit of Gravity

The latest Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label release is Andrew Greaves’ new album Headspace
A collection of nine electronic pieces created out of a process improvisation.

The album  is aptly named. Its sparse, yet warm soundscapes offer plenty of room to wander and to think.

Greaves has adopted a simple set-up here, and improvised around equally simple melodic fragments. Less is always more in this particular sonic world – but while the sound canvas sits within certain guard rails, there are no such restrictions on either the dynamic or the emotional range.

Almost folk-like half-tunes interlace with spare and careful interpolations of found sound. Occasionally, over the album’s forty minute journey, playful references occur in one track to another. Forty minutes is, of course, the classic album length – like a Georgian house, a size and shape to which we return. And this lyrical and considered collection is a bit of a classic too.

Stream or download for £9 at spiritofgravity.bandcamp.com/album/headspace

Also available as a boxed dual format USB stick expanded album: £10+postage
This version includes the album in lossless WAV and MP3 formats, 6 specially commissioned films and VJ performances, photos, cover art and more.

New release on the Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label – Wilde Volk: Rites and Reverberations

Posted on by Spirit of Gravity

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.
