An interview by Justin Hopper with Cheryl E. Leonard. Cheryl E. Leonard is a musician, sound artist and composer who lives in Northern California and works there - or in Antarctice, or Scotland, or Scandinavia... Her practice of making compositions 'of' and 'with' place combines field recordings with music made from original instruments built from natural objects. Her website is https://allwaysnorth.com/ and she's also on Instagram. Her album Antarctica: Music from the Ice is available from Bandcamp: https://othermindsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/antarctica-music-from-the-ice A new release just out is Littoral: https://ruralsituationism.bandcamp.com/album/littoral Host Justin Hopper has an Uncanny Landscapes substack - it's free, and includes the podcast + more. JH can be found via LinkTree or on Instagram.   Title sounds by The Belbury Poly, courtesy Ghost Box Records.   The Uncanny Landscapes icon is by Stefan Musgrove.

For this special episode, I walked on the South Downs with Jim Jupp of Belbury Poly and Ghost Box Records, discussing the latest BP album The Path. Good friend of the podcast Jim Jupp recently released a new album under his Belbury Poly name, and through Ghost Box, the record label he co-founded with artist/designer Julian House. Rather than a solo piece, however, this one involves a 'band' setting augmenting his synths and obsessions with library-music inspired claustrophobic soundtrack-funk, plus my own contribution as narrator, telling a vague tale of a walker descending into madness on the uncanny paths of England. We walked and talked at the end of the summer, and here 'tis... Check out Belbury Poly's The Path through all the normal record-shopping and streaming spots, and Ghost Box Records' own shoppe. The music is, obviously, also from that album. BP did the Uncanny Landscapes title theme, too... Host Justin Hopper has an Uncanny Landscapes substack - it's free, and includes the podcast + more. JH can be found via LinkTree or on Instagram. The Uncanny Landscapes icon is by Stefan Musgrove. Coming up very soon: new episodes featuring landscape artist and composer Cheryl E. Leonard and writer James Canton, and more! [[Caveat: there were technical issues with this episode; I think I've solved most of them, but apologies for weird stuff that may haunt the ep!]]

Cheryl E. Leonard is a San Francisco-based composer, performer, field recordist, and instrument builder whose works investigate sounds, structures, and objects from the natural world. Her projects cultivate stones, wood, water, ice, sand, shells, feathers, and bones as musical instruments, and often feature one-of-a-kind sculptural instruments and field recordings from remote locales.We talk about her time at Palmer Station in Antarctica, her instruments built from natural objects, Tenaya Lake, about her compositional process, and about several specific works.Pieces featured, in order heard:Adélie Colony Young ChicksFrozen OverAblation Zone (unreleased)In The Gloaminghttp://allwaysnorth.com/https://cherylleonard.bandcamp.com/https://soundcloud.com/ieallwaysnorth'Music from the Ice' Blog

San Francisco musician Cheryl E. Leonard finds her inspiration -- and instruments -- in the world that surrounds her. Leonard makes music by bowing, tapping, rubbing and otherwise manipulating objects she finds in nature. Spark checks in on this innovative young composer as she prepares a series of five new works entitled "Ziran," which is Chinese in origin and is used to mean the concept of naturalness.

Spark finds the song inside pine cones, with composer/performer Cheryl E. Leonard. Original air date: May 2005.
