about

I recorded these tracks in 2019 while on the set of Tin Can, a sci-fi movie I acted in and co-wrote. Early in the production, the director left a toy bugle in the break area. And I quickly fell for the thing, though I’d never played a horn of any kind before. I spent many hours on set just sitting around in this super uncomfortable full-body cyborg costume, waiting for my scenes. So to break the monotony, I’d sneak off to distant corners of this vast warehouse-cum-soundstage to improvise with the bugle into a couple of lavalier microphones. The result is this strange little obscurity of an album. My horn playing here is exploratory (slobbery). And both the echoey warehouse and my squeaky costume play a significant role in these recordings as well.

After production wrapped for Tin Can, I wouldn’t play a horn again until 2021, when a student at the local art college gave me a ten foot steel alphorn that he’d sculpted as a final project. I play the alphorn regularly and am now experimenting with other natural horns.

about

chik white Nova Scotia

chik white is the moniker I use for my work as a free improviser. For years, my instrument of choice was the jaw harp, but recently, I’ve expanded my practice to include voice, nose flutes, horns, guitar, and harmonica. Along with the many chik white releases chronicled on this page, I’ve also included select field recording works issued under my proper name, Darcy Spidle. ... more
