More Info

Each Divine Spark was lovingly knitted and written, rehearsed and diced; recorded live, loud and looped in a beautiful space; layered delicately and slow-roasted at home over UA-Ds, tape saturation and warm delays; passed over the ears of people who appreciate and emit sonic sorcery; then sensitively mastered to preserve said sonic sorcery. The space in this record is the subtlest sound I have never made, but can lay claim to.

All the loops for Each Divine Spark were recorded live and loud down to 2� analogue tape at Club 60 Recording Studio, Sheffield. Mics and blends by Paul Blakeman. Extra layers, vocals, and guest musicians added at Redroom Studio. Michael Eden plays guitar on tracks 8 and 10. Sarah Jay Hawley sings on tracks 3, 5, 8, 9 and 11. April Howden sings on track 2. Jo Quail plays cello on track 4. Mixed at Redroom Studio, Sheffield. Additional listening and sound advice by Paul Blakeman, Dan Worrall and Robin Downe. Mastered by Dan Worrall at the Laundry Rooms, Sheffield. Artwork by Martin Bedford. Written, performed and produced by Matt Howden.
