From breaks to shreds it’s a short path
(Live at Rough Trade West)
Rough Trade in West London hosted this very intimate, magical in-store session with Ruth Goller and her Skylla trio (with vocalist Alice Grant and Lauren Kinsella). Their performance of "From breaks to shreds it's a short path" (from SKYLLUMINA) was captured in a super psychedelic video by our friend James McClements of Atles Music.

SKYLLUMINA
SKYLLUMINA is new work from London-based, Italian-born composer, bassist & vocalist Ruth Goller.
Some may recognize Goller from her work with Alabaster DePlume, whose music she elevates in live contexts with her genre-less improvisational intuition. And she is known to creative musicians far and wide, with an incredibly diverse CV that includes performance and recording with Shabaka Hutchings, Rokia Traore, Melt Yourself Down, Sam Amidon, Damon Albarn, and many many more.
Expanding on the wholly original sound Goller established with her solo debut Skylla – i.e. compositions of detuned bass under a spectra of soprano voices she arranged and overdubbed herself – SKYLLUMINA complicates matters as she augments every piece with a different drummer. “As a bass-player, I love playing with drummers and I decided to focus on my close connection to that instrument and to the amazing people I met in my life who play it,” says Goller. Her accompanists on the album include International Anthem labelmates Bex Burch, Tom Skinner, and Frank Rosaly, as well as prolific British player Sebastian Rochford, and longtime Vula Viel collaborator Jim Hart. But more importantly: this music is an immersive hyperfocus for Goller and her patently distinct, singular compositional vision.
Goller says: “This record is deep insight into my soul and my recent life. It’s coming through a meteor storm and grasping the first light... out of a very unexpected tumultuous time... there are feelings of grief, loss, hope, purest of love, connection to my home, death, and new configurations... as well as self-discovery.”
