LF17 / Edinburgh in Moonbuilding

Posted on by elizabethjoankelly in news

Many thanks to Moonbuilding for spotlighting LF17 / Edinburgh, my new solo release from Mortality Tables:

“The latest installment in the Lifefiles series from Mortality Tables features the excellent New Orleans-based composer Elizabeth Joan Kelly. Lifefiles are field recordings, usually made by the label’s Mat Smith, and handed over to an artist to respond to recordings however they see fit. Here EJK gets three recordings made in Edinburgh in August 2021 and responds with three warm soundscapes. Knowing Mat, the recordings won’t be random. There’s always a story with this label.”

It’s a good day for new music; see more at the Moonbuilding substack.

Out today: LF17 / Edinburgh

Just released, my first solo venture since 2020.

LIFEFILES are creative exchanges.  

Recordings of places, people, objects, moments in time, environments and quotidian events are shared with a range of artists working with sound. Those artists are then free to respond to the recordings in any way they like, either through manipulation or composition.  

Season 01 of the LIFEFILES series commenced in March 2023 with contributions from Simon Fisher Turner, Veryan, Xqui, Rupert Lally, Andrew Spackman and Dave Clarkson.

Season 02 commenced in September 2023 with contributions so far from Audio Obscura, Todeskino, boycalledcrow, Simon Fisher Turner, Maps, Ergo Phizmiz and Elizabeth Joan Kelly.
