“Rewarding and often unexpectedly beautiful” Spectrum Culture
The Limbo Channel is a haunting, liminal, late night album. A complete sound-world of cavernous spaces, textural drones, fractured guitars and mangled voices, all steeped in radio-art culture. Laden with static pulses and snippets of rhythms and electronics that surface before descending back into the murk, it’s both expansive and claustrophobic; a perfect distillation of the idiosyncratic sound Arruti has developed across her recent albums.
How it all came about:
After performing at The Wire magazine’s 40th Anniversary event at The Rose Hill, Brighton, she was invited to be artist-in-residence at The Rose Hill Studios. For this she delved deep into her background in radical radio art and transmitted a daily nocturnal broadcast live on Slack City FM across Brighton and Manchester, whilst spending the days making new work in the studios. She invited a long list of collaborators and guest musicians (eg Mark Pilkington (Teleplasmiste), Lars Müller (Victor Sol, +N), Atsuko Kamura (Frank Chickens), MK Ibáñez (Dial), Adam Bushell (Tacit Ensemble) and Kassia Zermon (Bunty, Resonators)) to get involved.
