DEBUT RELEASE 'SPINNING MAN' (SELF-TITLED)

In the winter of 2022, M.E. Baird wrote a handful of tracks while undergoing treatment for stage 3 cancer.  The following winter, M.E. Baird and Jamie recorded an astonishing set of songs and soundscapes comprising a left-of-centre, deeply immersive, cinematic recording.  Recorded in an isolated mountain community west of Brisbane, Armed with a good collection of analogue equipment and instruments, entertainment from a dancing icon, assistance from two dogs and the morning greetings of a sentinel Gnome.  Tracks from Spinning Man have already been licensed for upcoming soundtracks, and work on a follow-up recording has already begun. 

 

The name 'Spinning Man' came to M.E. Baird via a paragraph from Dylan Thomas's poem, The Author's Prologue.

​

'How I, a spinning man,
Glory also this star, bird
Roared, sea born, man torn, blood blest.
Hark: I trumpet the place,
From fish to jumping hill! Look:
I build my bellowing ark
To the best of my love
As the flood begins,
Out of the fountainhead
Of fear, rage red, manalive,
Molten and mountainous to stream
Over the wound asleep...'

 

(Extract from The Author's Prologue, Dylan Thomas. 1954)
