Pharmacopoeia from Red by Gravity Machine

"Breast cancer- to an observer (and a male observer at that) seems to me to be a designed-cruelty; something to attack the soul and essence of a woman in a series of assaults on her being, corporeality and presence.

Almost as brutal as that is the treatment- chemotherapy & radiotherapy, to say nothing of the side effects, and the other drugs just to contain the side effects, and the drugs to allow the other drugs to work. Drugs to mitigate the side-effects of the other drugs.

I set out to try to create a disturbing piece of music, that captured something of the brutality of it all. In doing so, I also realised that- elsewhere in the world- there are those who don't have the luxury of undergoing this treatment- or, in some countries, who have to make the agonising choice between premature death, or bankrupting their family to pay for treatment. So- for all my and other's sorrow, we were fortunate to have the time we had".

Emerging from the boulder-strewn depths of Dartmoor, Gravity Machine bring massive groove, soaring, atmospheric vision and a deeply satisfying sound.
