about

This experimental audio essay is a collaboration with artist Nina Royle. Comissioned by the TATE, it was performed for the first time in September 2018 at the TATE St Ives. It combines a poetic treatise on the colour blue with Harp and found sounds composed and arranged by Benjin.

Inspired by the themes present within Patrick Heron's work, this new performance by Nina Royle explores the cultural and historical significance of blue. The performance considers the contradictions implicit within blue - extreme joy and extreme sadness, the sea, the sky - and the slippery, problematic nature of using words to single out and classify colours.

Mixed, Arranged and Recorded by Benjin, Mastered by Lhasa Mencur
