Hurrian Cult Legacy - Hurrian Cult Legacy (Album)

Hazy dreamscapes blur into head-nodding boom bap, decolonial feminist remixes meet philosophically dense rap flows, and reverberating bass lines fuse with nomadic folk tunes that have circulated between now geographically disparate land masses.

Mastered by Willie Green of Brooklyn's Greenhouse Recording Co,, the album is the first release from Hurrian Cult Legacy who also produces sound art under the moniker Kin. She is currently one of four ‘Sound Pioneers’ supported by Yorkshire Women’s Sound Network and Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival with a residency at the University of Hull’s surround-sound and ambisonic studio planned for 2021.

Combining multi-instrumentalism, improvisation and the socio-aesthetics of remix culture, Hurrian Cult Legacy plays flute, piano, hurdy-gurdy and guitar to then sample and de-construct, in line with her ongoing artistic interest in self-erasure, disappearance and impermanence.  The re-wiring of assumed fixed mediums (recording, writing) are revealed to be transient, flexible and subject to the decay of time.
