Irukandji

Listen to this episode from Norfolk Folklore Society on Spotify. We had the privilege of welcoming Chris Spalton to our March 2023 Norfolk Folklore Society talk at Arboretum in Norwich. Chris shared tales from his childhood in the Fens as well as some of his favourite folklore stories from his book. This is an unedited recording of the talk, so there is a little bit of swearing.

The untamed Fens were damp, desolate, and dire. Many people throughout history have tried to tame them, but not without resistance: The Breedlings were a tribe of ‘semi-amphibious savages’ struggling to survive in this dank land, resisting and fighting desperately to preserve their insular, uncompromisingly harsh way of life against the interference of outsiders. They were a people apart, and proud of it.

These are the primary influences of Irukandji – resistance, dread, dampness, the grim.

Chris Spalton - The Breedling – comes from this land and has been circling the periphery of the music scene for years via his art, design, and video for several notable artists (Part Chimp and Hey Colossus to name two). This is his first foray into music-making and his debut release. These songs come from a particular place and a particular time, realised through modern technology. Spalton has taken an inquisitive, DIY approach and attitude to the way he uses sound.The ideas were captured quickly at the moment of emergence and shaped into these 8 pieces of music. The music may be digital in creation, but is rawness and immediacyowe more to primal noise music or the atmospheric qualities of doom metal than the pristine sheen associated with much electronica. They conjure images of the landscape, history, folklore, and defiance that inspired its creation. 

Wade through the drone, get stranded in the discordance, drown in the noise - picture yourself lost in a miserable marsh. This is the soundtrack, this is Irukandji – a sense of certain doom.
