Completing the 20th Anniversary year of the Spirit of Gravity, we present the 2nd collection of tracks from acts that have appeared at our events since the we started in 2001, Elliptical Orbits 2.
Again featuring Collective members past and present, along with fellow travellers who have graced the various stages we have appeared on over the years. The variety is as wide and the quality as high as the previous edition, illustrating the breadth and inventiveness associated with the Spirit of Gravity throughout its history.
Volume 2 incorporates 26 tracks and over 3½ hours of music, including an extract from minimal impact’s first ever appearance, more new material from Chris Cook, the first new release from the 55th Flotilla for 6 years, and a track from special guest star Professor Stephen Mallinder.
We look forward to 20 more years of producing entertaining and challenging music in venues across Brighton.

So Dolly Rae Starcore stands in at the last minute for someone laid low by The Rona, for which we are grateful, and happy. Starting with a stroke of the Zither and a massive boom off the mic. Arrayed before her on the table a selection of small percussive objects, two large brass singing bowls, her book and the sheath of papers from which she will read. She reads, pings the Flexatone shakes the shakers and reads, she gently strokes the singing bowl which booms beautifully. One of the singing bowls is a quarter full of water which modulates it when swirled. She reads, pings the percussion. The atmosphere builds, some unaccompanied sections, some densely swirled about. Chimes.
