In 2015 I read a book about Aboriginal art, which depicted how the Earth and all things on it had a place, importance and inner soul. With this in mind I released an album which took as its starting point these beliefs about the Speaking Land / Earth and the concept of animism as a whole. The final track, which was never released, was an experiment combining all the music into a crying cacophony – the Earth in lament with what we have done to it.
Code Red is Too Late is based on that track, slowly deconstructing and disintegrating the sound. Seabirds mournfully cry and the Earth sends out an S.O.S which we fail, or choose not to listen to. This is also how I feel personally, increasingly feeling displaced and alienated from the World I see around me and the destruction we so carelessly vent on the Earth.
