I am really proud to have joined a massive range of artists in writers on responding to the music of Mogwai in a fantastic collection VIGILANTIA: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ARTISTS AND WRITERS PAY ATTENTION TO MOGWAI . The collection was produced by David Banning at the wonderful Chroma Edition who continue to release a wide range of really interesting books as well as supporting a number of exhibitions. This collection is wide as it is deep, with each artist or writer taking a song title and responding to it in some way. Some pieces are directly linked to lyrics or title while other work is much more abstract. I was really pleased to produce an art work and a poem responding to the the song “The Precipice” and feel I captured the building momentum of the music somewhere in the art I created. There is also a gripping story by my good friend and sometime collaborator Lee Ashworth (his blog is a bit quiet at the moment but you can find him out there if you so desire). The book is available now and it is not only a beautifully produced object but also sits in a real sweet spot between art, music and writing. You can also listen along to a playlist of tracks responded to in the book on Spotify.
Where are we now?
