about

"A remarkable psychogeographic voyage through a thousand years of London culture" 9/10 UNCUT magazine

Tonebeds for Poetry explores lost civilisations, inertia, beats music, sludge, drone, glitch and the sounds of the city, held together with ancient word-glue, repurposed to deliver vital, urgent messages for now.

SITW’s curiosity concerns the city and the struggle of its layered communities that co-exist on top of each other, years upon years, the weird structures hidden in plain sight.

“The Cuckoo” re-casts a pastoral folk song as a sub-heavy lament for a master criminal; “Wierds Broke It” is 90s grunge + autotune for a lost civilisation; “The Devil’s Nag” uses a midi file of a 17th century dance tune to make a 21st century one.
