about

I Hope They Let Us Hunt Like Men In The Next Life started life as a graphic score composed in the Italian wilderness, during a residency at a repurposed candy factory. Living in the isolated factory during hunting season, its borders were marked with signs warning of the danger of being shot if you were to wander into the fields beyond. Having instructed a group of locals to dance through the scrub, Daniel Alexander Hignell-Tully notated their physical movements as a series of ink marks on paper, which were then provided to a trio of musicians to interpret sonically.

The final musical outcome oscillates between the scratchy timbre of semi-improvised violins and the optimistic, hopeful voicing of an electric piano. Though a work of little obvious definition - sections flow into one another without delineation, melodies repeating and disassembling - the players were bound by a strict meter, with many of the seemingly free motifs falling at extremely specific moments within the wider composition. Musical themes are transposed across instruments, explored by each in turn, with staccato strikes upon the keys or strings articulating moments of change indicated by the graphic notation of the score.

The final piece was presented as the opening performance of the Fort Process Festival in 2020.

The final track is a solo piano work, an early iteration of the composer's 'line-making' score (later released as 'Lines' and 'Weaves' on Hallow Ground Records).
