Little Crosses by Museleon

I have been creating electronic music for some time and also have been working on a sound / image / film project about the First World War, since starting out all those years ago.
It is something that I have returned to from time to time, but I was spurred on to try and complete something by the Centenary.

I have created remembrance pieces each year about the start of the war(1914), Picardy(1915), the first use of tanks (1916) and the Battle of Passchendaele (1917) but have added tracks to create this electronic sound collage requiem.

Each track is linked with a specific year of the war and each has it's own information and artwork attached.

1914

1915 - Wire, Peril

1916 - Mud, Roses, Devil's Porridge.

1917 - Landships, Army of Death, Wings

1918 - Gas, Swallows

Little Crosses is the culmination of about five years’ work and the whole project has grown in size from the original four tracks but what I can say is it's a labour of love and a deeply personal response to the horrors of war.
