Penny Rimbaud
As part of the online edition, we are delighted to have Penny Rimbaud create a playlist of inspiring music to raise weary bones and inspire fuzzy minds.
“Rather than writing notes to each track, I have chosen in a paragraph to express the overall essence that I feel is common to them”
It’s a transcendental set, 76 minutes of inspiring music for troubling times. Penny explained the choices;
“In one way or another, all of the selected tracks below describe what I call ‘the scream of life’; a universal force that in its rawness and sometimes brutal honesty tears open heart and soul. These are unarguably demands that the power of love be recognised and engaged with and, in that sense, they cry out in one and the same voice. Likewise, these are all maps, maps to a better world and the very root of peace. Entertaining they are not, at least if they are found to be entertaining, then the point has been somewhat lost. Like the tree bending to the wind, we are unwittingly fashioned by the sounds that we listen to, then why be demeaned by the bleak hollowness of commercial pop? We are not ephemera, we are the body of life; I believe that these tracks nourish that body.”
