about

Originally released on the Hibernate label in 2010.

Poor Henrietta Marie is based on a single mobile phone recording of a young girl singing "Wade in the water" unaccompanied on the street of a small English town. The recording was later treated and re-arranged on magnetic tape, then passed through dsp processors and set alongside live multi-tracked instrumentation. Henrietta Marie refers to the sunken slave ship of the same name that now resides in a sad watery grave.

Vital Weekly Review:

"Nigel Samways was recently (see Vital Weekly 714) discovered with some charming releases and here has a twenty-one minute piece 'Wade In The Water', which is based on a recording of a girl singing the same song in the streets of Lewes, but its no longer to be recognized as such. Samways uses tape treatments, dsp processing, instruments and some more field recordings, and
crafted a great piece of music of a loop of singing, to which a whole brand of small electronic sounds, drones and glitches are added. Think 'Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet' meeting 'Salt Marie Celeste': a radioplay like piece of obscured field recordings which tell us a story, other than 'just' beautiful music. Excellent release here." (FdW)
