“London’s Georgina Brett is part of a generation of solo artists who use layered loops to build trascendental, rotating textures from repetition. Hardware loopers and effects pedals remain the preferred tool here for Brett as for many such artists. But Brett’s work is worth a particular mention for its ghostly, ethereal quality and thoughtful, delicate compositions.

There is for me a continuum connecting to the Minimalists, of course – as a soloist, she’s doing some of the things that the Meredith Monk Ensemble did (minus the loopers), and there’s a feeling of the “discovered folk music” that Monk used in her work. Other moments have the quasi-Medieval sounds of Philip Glass — one track recalling the “Knee Plays,” other moments perhaps channeling Hildegard, in flourishes of modal monophony that underlie the writing. But this voice seems personal and intimate, centering on folk song round-style directness.

Watching her build up a track, even after many years of watching looping performances, is a pleasure, beginning fragile or even uncertain like an echo, but gently growing to a calmly rolling sea of sound.” Peter Kirk

Soundclouder of the Day, 28th June 2013!

or #SCOTD as it is shortened to… So excited… 🙂 I opened my account that morning to find hundreds more plays that usual on my music, so I knew something was up… Found out later on in the day that i was featured on the twitter and tumblr soundcloud blogs as artist of the day. So grateful for some unexpected exposure, had some super nice comments and met some new artists for possible collaboration. Hoooorrrayyyy 🙂 www.soundcloud.com/georginabrett

God Found Pluto a Cold Place – Video

The idea that Gaia, (or if you prefer an Earth consciousness/God) could choose to spend time in or around the furthest planet(?) from the sun has been a visual and emotional movie of mine for a while in several shapes and forms. 🙂

The music appears on the Nonsense A album.

Cosmic Puffin Festival May 2013

What a site! The best festival site, next to the beach, clean showers, lots of warm interior spaces, good food, great music and lovely people… What more could you want?

Here’s me singing a totally unrehearsed improvisation around the well known tragic love song “Black Orpheus”, it kind of goes wrong as I try to adjust the tempo on the second pedal.. wishing i had turned the output of the second pedal down at the time, so no bubbly noises… i thought it was nicely arty… perhaps it is?

Pythagoras Live @ The Loft, Cologne Germany

This is me at my first International gig. In Cologne. An unforgettable time, and I presented “Pythagoras”. A song I wrote which displays Pythagoras’s opposite words. Opposition being an interest of mine, latest childhood development theories guard against too much focus on likes and dislikes, polar opposites… it possibly creates a “Good” and “Bad” labelling mind…. one that misses the complexities of the middle ground..
