{"id":37627,"title":"Spring Back : Riverside Retrospectives","description":"AS the vernal equinox graces the horizon, casting its gentle embrace upon the earth, skeletal tree branches emerge like ancient bones, their spines, ribs and limbs reaching toward the heavens.  Yet, amidst their stark silhouette, hope unfurls in delicate buds, a testament to the cycle of life renewed.  Lichen weaves its intricate tapestry upon these barren boughs, while catkins dance in the breeze, heralding the arrival of spring's awakening.  This is the inspiration for this sound and art collection by artist and composer Kelly Ann Buckley K-A-B","content":"<p><strong>By Kelly Buckley<\/strong><\/p><p><u>20th March 2024<\/u><\/p><p><\/p><div data-youtube-video=\"\"><iframe class=\"youtube\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_eHe8E5IiP4?si=oWChfIAjl8rliaFe\"><\/iframe><\/div><p><\/p><p>\ud83c\udf1e\ud83c\udf14<\/p><p><strong><em><span style=\"font-family:UICTFontTextStyleBody;\">March 20, 2024, 3:06am UK time : the Vernal Equinox \/ Ostara.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:UICTFontTextStyleBody;\">I\u2019m pleased to mark this occasion by introducing my new collection: \u2018<\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/collection\/k-a-b-spring-back-riverside-retrospects\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-family:UICTFontTextStyleBody;\"><u>Spring Back : Riverside Retrospectives\u2019 my new collection of art + sound.<\/u><\/span><\/a><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/6y5zrx5obbtiqxzxbyryqn9rzkb8yghtl06p1emvntxrv13f.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"6y5zrx5obbtiqxzxbyryqn9rzkb8yghtl06p1emvntxrv13f.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:UICTFontTextStyleBody;\">Inspiration for this spring offering has been sparked from the period between Imbolc and the Vernal Equinox (or Ostara) and my time spent on various long river walks making recordings, starting at the River Hayle is St Erth, Cornwall and also the River Roach and Barlinghall Creek, Barling Magna, Essex.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:UICTFontTextStyleBody;\">Time as old as bones is buried along these waterways, and the embrace of the past, the feeling of rebirth and skeletal branches jutting along the river banks have bolstered an osseous theme which has weaved its way into some of the pieces.\u00a0 You will also see other sights that give an undeniable nod to the time of year and you\u2019ll hear the gathered sounds and samples in the music and audio clips to come.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:UICTFontTextStyleBody;\">The art print collection is open in my shop appearing in the guise of prints, cards and on organic cotton clothing.\u00a0 The music and sounds will continue to drop into my catalogue throughout the season and beyond.
