"Three new works from composer Paul Whitty written for new music ensembles [rout] and Icebreaker. The Morning includes: Nature is a language - can't you read? written for Icebreaker - a reorganisation or reconstruction of materials from Michael Gordon's Yo Shakespeare, a classic of visceral, driving rhythmic patterns from Icebreaker's repertoire. The reorganisation here is by turns sparsely then densely populated with points of sound and fragments of grit and noise generated by overheard field recordings, that lurch into life then vanish. I was bored before I even began is an exploration of the sounding surfaces of instruments wielded by members of [rout] and each fitted with a contact microphone and routed to guitar pedals. The Morning is a reconstructed, reorganised, reconstituted misreading of Thomas Arne's Cantata No.5 developed as part of Vauxhall Pleasure, a project developed with Anna Best, and investigating the sonic archaeology of the Vauxhall Cross Gyratory, former site of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens where, for a time, Arne was composer in residence. Paul Whitty is a founder, along with the composers Sam Hayden and Paul Newland, of the ensemble [rout], which has made concert tours in the UK, appearing on BBC Radio 3's contemporary music programme Hear and Now, on a BMIC Cutting Edge concert tour, at the ICA and at the Huddersfield Festival
