ALISON
COTTON is a viola player based in London working in composition and
improvisation. Her debut album ’All Is Quiet at the Ancient Theatre’ was
released in 2018 firstly on cassette on Bloxham Tapes, followed by a
vinyl release on Cardinal Fuzz (UK) and Feeding Tube (USA). In July 2019
her longform piece, ‘Behind the Spiderweb Gates’ was released on the
Australian label, Longform Editions. As well as the viola, she uses an
array of other instruments (her voice, harmonium, percussion, recorder,
omnichord, shruti box and piano) to create long, haunting folk drones.
Cotton’s recent album ‘The Portrait You Painted of Me’, is a 6-track
record – her first for Rocket Recordings. This will be followed up in
March with ‘Engelchen’, an album reflecting on the intrepid Cook sisters
whose efforts helped refugees escape Nazi-occupied Europe in the 1930s.
It’s a celebration of the human spirit, one that reflects a
universality in its narrative which transcends the boundaries of history
and impacts very urgently on our daily lives. Whatever attempts may be
made to tell this story, it’s hard to imagine one that resonates deeper
than ‘Engelchen’.
