The Endless Dance - Vinyl LP

The Endless Dance is the first collaborative album from Northern Irish producer and composer Hannah Peel and Chinese percussionist Beibei Wang. The record is grounded in the strength of ancient concepts but comes alive with the joy and freedom of play as together, Peel and Wang travel through the 24 solar terms of the Chinese calendar with a cornucopia of sound in tow - synths and prepared piano alongside traditional and unconventional percussion. The album is collaged together from recordings made over five days at legendary rural studio Real World, a setting which aligned with the duo's inspiration from the natural world creating a permanent record of their shared musical landscape, informed by the flora and fauna that emerge and retreat through the seasons. Both genre-defying, storied artists in their own right, Peel and Wang met while working on Manchester Collective's 2023 album NEON and The Endless Dance certainly represents a step-change from the duo's shared classical backgrounds - but their knowledge and training is also the foundation of it's freewheeling audacity, giving them the confidence to trust their instincts. The album is produced by Mike Lindsay [LUMP, Tunng, Guy Garvey, Jon Hopkins] who, with free rein, brings added energy and creativity to the album.
