Hedgling is a new duo of Natalia Beylis and Willie Stewart. Previously, they have played together in numerous bands including Woven Skull, Boneyard Witch and Divil A’ Bit. With Hedgling, they build on these collaborations to create a new musical sphere in which to explore the far reaches of their real and imagined surroundings.
Their sound sways in the space between the familiar and the unknown parallel worlds that co-exist around, above and beneath us. Percussive constellations created from found objects, dissolving tape loops of creaking pump organ drones and recordings made in the bogs and woods around their home blend together to convey an intimate portrait of the world they co-inhabit.
"There is none of the hushed reverence that usually accompanies improvisatory sound art; instead, we get a finale which is genuinely, immodestly, insanely heavy, as Stewart taps into a pounding, primal rhythm and Beylis goes to town on her equipment like a rock star in the midst of a guitar-wrecking solo. It’s surprising, refreshing and absolutely brilliant."
