Shackleton and Vengeance Tenfold's Sonic Journey

'Sonic Journeys is a new collection of aural landscapes that connect creator, listener and music with the world around us.'

Shakleton and spoken word artist Vengeance Tenfold were commissioned by SoundUK to create musical representations of two sections of train lines in Devon. The two tracks are available to download for free along with a map which shows the journey Shackleton and Vengeance were inspired by. Listeners are encouraged to travel on these lines, put their headphones on and follow the journey themselves.

For me there is no question that Shackleton is a genius. His music is as always of high quality and depth with these oriental influences throughout and Vengeance's words fit in just perfectly! Personally, I like more the North Devon line track, I love the way Vengeance reapeats himself both at the beginning and the end. You kind of get lost in the track. Those two should definitely collaborate more often.
