about

This tune was initially written in my former home in Kilburn and then developed further in Scotland. When researching my street name to find a title for the song, the Old English name for Kilburn turned out to be Cylla Burna, translating into Cylla’s (or cattle) stream. It was also noted that the area was a notorious duelling spot in the late 18th century until duelling was outlawed. To this day, some of London’s highest knife crime rates are recorded in this area which I found a fascinating link. I believe in history creating an energy - and situations forming because of an energy of a place in the first place in return. My composition has undulating polyrhythms combined with trembling lyrics and a looping backing line which to me has become a fitting representation of this buzzing area that seems to host so many clashes
