The Blue Horse
'The Blue Horse' is a beautiful strange journey through a landscape where little is familiar but all are welcome. Made from predominantly acoustic sources, 'The Blue Horse' gracefully hisses, puffs, wheezes, whirls, and clunks its way through a series of distinct musical and non musical environments. Sounding both at times like a dark and stormy night... and "an elephant trying to get laid", the ambiguous style of 'The Blue Horse' conceals the artists unsettling, fantastical and quietly humorous sensibility. Whilst 'The Blue Horse' lacks any obvious precursors, its elemental and environmental leanings potentially tread a path initially mapped out by Moniek Darge and Godfried-Willem Raes in the works coming out of the Logos Foundation in Ghent, Belgium in the mid '80s.
