Rock Fishing

Posted on by iainmorrisonmusic

Following the completion of Sàl, I set about making what was to become Rock Fishing, a multidisciplinary project encompassing writing, visual art, and music. The collection includes short stories and poetry (Rock Fishing), visual artworks (They Are Not Birds of the Isle of Lewis and Lewis Tweed, made with motors and daytime television), and musical releases (Pots and Pans Vol. 2 and clò). The release of clò marks the culmination of the project.

The work was inspired by a singular muse, a character named Hank (Kenny Don a’ Bhular), he was cyclonic. Across the project, I explore themes of small communities, outsiders, culture, struggle, and collective weakness.

clò is available here: https://iainmorrison.bandcamp.com/album/cl

clò + Rock Fishing is available here: https://iainmorrison.bandcamp.com/merch/rock-fishing-physical-copy-cl-digital-ep

Pots and Pans (Vol 2) with added tracks is available for free here: https://iainmorrison.bandcamp.com/album/pots-and-pans-vol-2

all the very best, Iain

Sàl Review

“Emotional, emotive and exquisitely crafted, SÀL searches through the darkness that has shrouded the horrific events at the dawn of 1919, to speak from the very soul of the islands. Among a body of work that has always been impressive for its breadth of vision and vivid imagination, with SÀL Iain Morrison has surpassed even his own high standards in a work of unparalleled potency.”
