Lyke Wake Dirge // Martin Green - pt 1
<span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode we're joined by Martin Green who is challenging you to reimagine Lyke Wake Dirge, an ancient funeral chant about the soul’s journey through purgatory.</span> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Martin is a multi-award winning musician and composer who has collaborated with many artists and musicians including the likes of Eliza Carthy, Joan Baez, Anais Mitchell and Aidan Moffatt. As a member of Lau he has won four BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for Best Group and in 2015 he was nominated in the Best Musician category. In 2019 he won the Ivor Novello award for his sound walk “Aeons” that was part of The Great Exhibition of the North.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We first came across Martin’s work in his 2015 show Flit, a multimedia, collaborative song cycle on the theme of migration. As a performer steeped in traditional music but with a process informed by sampling, electronics, and interdisciplinary storytelling, we wanted to get his insight on how he traverses these multiple planes</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Check out Martin’s recent project The Portal</span> <a href= "https://www.martingreenmusic.co.uk/the-portal" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">here.</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">/// TAKE PART ///</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Charts:</span> <a href= "https://oldtunesfreshtakes.com/s/otft-scores-ep-11-lyke-wake-dirge.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">example score, chords & lyrics</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">(.pdf)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Playlist:</span> <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Leguo02bugW9FnyVS4D5v?nd=1&si=020922c010cc4d86" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Spotify playlist</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">of existing versions of Lyke Wake Dirge.</span></p> <p><a href="https://oldtunesfreshtakes.com/how-to-submit" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Find a quick guide on how to submit here.</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Martin will be back to listen to your takes in the second part of this episode released on Monday 27 September.
