Scree is two heaving slabs of feral tone from Heavy Cloud, inspired by the immense natural forces at work on the Cornish coastline. Tidal waves and searing sunlight batter and erode, crack and burn the ever shifting topography of the country’s precarious fringe over 21 minutes of processed heavy electronics. Scree is a pair of noise ‘landscrapes’ in-spirited by the Cornish coastline, formed over time from eroding loops and voices, processed field recordings and found sounds. 

Heavy Cloud observes that in geology scree is defined as an accumulation of loose stones or rocky debris lying on a slope or at the base of a hill or cliff. The formation of scree deposits is the result of physical and chemical weathering — erosive processes acting on a rock face, transporting the material downslope. During this process, nothing is physically lost but the terrain is seismically altered. The whole has been dispersed and fractured, forming a multitude of fragments, the body transmitted into a multiplicity, who’s voice echoes across the terrain. Nature’s cyclical renewal compulsively repeats itself, ceaseless but comforting in its presence.

Heavy Cloud utilises a range of harsh looping sonics, repeating, abrading and relentlessly channeling the undertow through pummelling drones and screeching noise. Scree is a sonic interpretation of the environmental and cultural erosion affecting the English landscape. Haunted voices murmur through the processed tones of elemental powers, blown off to sea and spat back against the rocks in a spray of disintegrating spume. Vast swatches of sound change direction and tone abruptly, imitating the shifting weather and tidal patterns of the Cornish coastline. Akin to the undertow of daily thought processes, sounds circle rapidly and relentlessly; some fleeting but others constant and erring.
