The new boxset means that
Uncommon Deities is available again after a long time, and I returned to this album for a new article which I've just published.
I love the way Jan Bang and Erik Honoré melded together Punkt Festival performances from both Kristiansand and Tallinn in 2011 to produce this recording. It's a fantastic memory of my trip to Norway for David Sylvian's 'artist in residence' festival (were you there too?), and especially the performances in the art gallery space of his installation
Uncommon Deities (which featured artwork by Atsushi Fukui).
I saw so many artists for the first time, including the incredible Sidsel Endresen who features across the
Uncommon Deities cd. I enjoyed finding out more about her art.
