Bridget Chappell / Undertow Limited Edition Heavyweight LP Transparent Light & Dark Blue Vinyl

Bridget Chappell 'Undertow' Limited Edition Heavyweight LP Transparent Light & Dark Blue Vinyl

Deluxe limited edition gatefold heavyweight light transparent blue with dark opaque blue coloured 12” Vinyl LP with OBI Strip.

Heavy Machinery Records proudly presents UNDERTOW - the debut full length album by Australian electronic composer and cellist Bridget Chappell (Hextape).

Electronic composer and cellist Bridget Chappell (Hextape) takes contemporary and historical data of local water management and water colonisation sourced from the City of Melbourne's Open Data Platform, and runs it through a process of sonification to create UNDERTOW - a stunning original work composed for cello, electronics and Melbourne's extraordinary public sound sculpture: the Federation Bells. The result is a searingly original data-driven work that combines neoclassical strings, industrial percussion, glitch and the Bells to create an exciting and thought-provoking site-specific sound work.

Bridget Chappell is an award-winning Australian sound artist working on the unceded lands of the First Peoples of the Millewa-Mallee. Their often data-driven work explores colonial responsibility, the climate crisis, policing and surveillance, and rave nostalgia.
