about

Creative collaborations born out of the award winning music podcast excuse the mess featuring 9 unique voices from contemporary music worlds and beyond…

excuse the mess is a music podcast with a twist - alongside your bread and butter artist interviews each guest takes on the challenge of writing a brand new piece of music on the fly, in the room and with excuse the mess host, Ben Corrigan.
They follow three rules (limitations are liberating!):
1. There can be no preplanning, it is spontaneous music making.
2. The track must be finished the same day.
3. Only one instrument can be used as a sound source but there can be electronic manipulations of it.

Volume 1 is the end result of each of those heart palpating writing sessions from the first series featuring Manu Delago, Laura Jurd, Emily Hall, Robert Ames, Mark Lockheart, Douglas Dare, Mira Calix, Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch and Matt Calvert.

All the music fizzes with an energy that only fast paced work can invoke and the compositional fingerprint of each guest artist is embedded into the core of each track, whilst intermingling with Ben's own artistic voice. For anyone interested in a further delve they can go back to the podcast episode and witness the composition unfolding bit-by-bit, from the blank page to the finished piece, you are invited on that compositional journey.

Vol 1 is available as a digital download and limited edition book ft interview extracts/quotes from podcast episodes, photos from the sessions, risograph print, album download and more…

Instruments used: Manu Delago: Hang / Laura Jurd: Trumpet / Emily Hall: Electromagnetic Harp / Robert Ames: Viola / Mark Lockheart: Saxophone / Douglas Dare: Voice / Mira Calix: Ice Rink / Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch: Piano / Matt Calvert: Guitar
