about

MAbH is the solo project of UK based artist Peter Taylor, who has been producing music since 2008 and made his CN debut in early 2021 with ‘Look Under (see cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/look-under ). 'Unnamed Vagabond' is two pieces of musique concrète, improv and noise that maximises loops made using scratched and sculpted old vinyl, while exploring improvised vocal and non-instrument compositions. The album contains 60 minutes of experimental improvisation and avant-garde composition, decorating the hour-long running time with cracks of light, shards of shadow, and moments of insanity.

The record is (in part) a search for sound in dust via the detournement of many well-worn charity shop LPs. Through crate-digging I strove to find a wealth of sounds to use and abuse. Live improv is prominent throughout the record, as it is in most MAbH recordings; adding some organic elements to the warped plastic noises within. The first recording session was fuelled by the need to create sounds from whatever I had laying around the house (during lockdown), so you will hear everything from candles, kitchen utensils
and glass vases.

The record is the product of two separate creative periods during spring and summer of 2021. I have spent a lot of time painting and listening to various musique concrète and experimental artists, many of which are part of Ina GRM. I have found more solace in abstract landscapes of late, and thus these have taken center stage in my recent work.

Sing Wooden Arcs Part 1&2 have been a great outlet for my recent creative pursuits, as they consist of purely improvised sounds recorded directly to my phone. I played four sessions and edited the sounds into two long pieces. Most of the other tracks are pockets
of sound; interference from the static - manipulated histories squeezed into effervescent vignettes.

Field recordings were absorbed across Yorkshire and Surrey, each adding a little to the cacophony of sounds throughout. There is also a track that contains the first vocal duet between my daughter (then 11 years old) and me; as we interacted with playful vocal experiments
creating something both unsettling and playful. (Peter Taylor, MabH)
