Overview

Wrack Lines --- 2016-01-15

Issued in a gatefold cardboard sleeve. All profits from the sale of this EP will go to the charity Creative Carbon Scotland to support their work to put culture at the heart of a sustainable Scotland. These songs were written in short snatches of time between tour and studio schedules, when and where artists' paths crossed. They all explore thoughts about the role of travel in the work and life of a musician, considering these in the light of environmental concerns. Each songwriter was tracked as they travelled to gigs across the festival season and maps of their movement have been used as the basis for the artwork (you can see infographics about how much they travelled and their carbon emissions here [LINK]). This EP forms part of a research project called "Fields of Green: Addressing Climate Change Through Music Festival Communities". It aims to explore what audiences, organisers and musicians can do to encourage environmentally sustainable behaviour around music festivals. The project was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (Grant No. AH/M009270/1) and is a collaboration between the University of the West of Scotland, Edinburgh University, Lancaster University and Creative Carbon Scotland. www.creativecarbonscotland.com/travel-infographics-published/ Credits Loneliness and Rhythm – written by Louis Abbott and Jo Mango.
