Mini CD with Bandcamp download code in sleeve.

The Hardy Tree, is the musical project of Frances Castle, founder of Clay Pipe Musicl. She is pleased to present All the Hours as part of the labels CD series. This 20-minute composition beautifully captures the passage of a day, from dawn to dusk.

All the Hours was initially composed for a live performance at The Betsey Trotwood pub in London last February. The piece serves as the soundtrack to a slow-moving animation inspired by the cover art of The Hardy Tree’s previous album, Common Grounds. It takes listeners on a journey from night to day and back again, unfolding through delicate looped woodwinds and melodic soundscapes. The music was created using an Elektron Syntakt and an Elektron Digitakt, and the limitations and constraints of the instruments helped define the sound of the music.
