Watsons’ ‘Notes From The Forest Floor’ first premiered in 2015 at an event dedicated to the work of Italian composer Giacinto Scelsi. It uses recordings of insects and environmental sounds from Costa Rica’s La Selva tropical rain forest reserve to respond to Scelsi’s microtonal works, with Watson later returning to Costa Rica to capture additional recordings for album version.

Rodgers’ ‘Line Of Parts’ was produced for the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in 2019, and was composed using field recordings from the Cairngorms and North London, alongside sine waves and vocals.

Notes From The Forest Floor​/​Line Of Parts follows SN Variation’s release of Aisha Orazbayeva’s Music for Violin Alone album.
