about

When a met e, tha sgith was blue…”

A/am/ams is the debut solo release by composer Rufus Isabel Elliot of the OVER / AT project and label: a trans music-making world that released FOLK SONGS E.P. in March 2021 to much critical acclaim. Recorded live in one evening in Glasgow in September 2021, A/am/ams arrives here in cassette form with the help of GLARC, the Greater Lanarkshire Auricular Research Council (GLARC) as a limited edition tape and digital release.



A/am/ams (come ashore, turn over) is the story of two characters, A/am/ams and E/e/e, walking forever down an eternal beach, spiralling down and down and down. There’s a mystery – who are these characters, and what happened between them? It is an expansive piece about apocalyptic love and loss, and a kind of raw, dead anger.



The music features Scots traditional singer and GLARC alumni Josie Vallely, a.k.a. Quinie, and a small supporting cast of instruments with their own characters, played by three other musicians whose work spans traditional, experimental, and classical modes – Stevie Jones (Sound of Yell), Harry Gorski-Brown, and Andrew Herrington (Awkward Family Portraits).



The cassette release comes in a specially designed and handmade fabric pouch, with an accompanying text in Gaelic by Cass Ezeji, and artwork by Jamie Crewe.
