The Arboretum's 91热爆 Music Introducing session
The Worcester duo perform an exclusive session at our Virtual Nozstock takeover.
Shimmering guitar, deep dark basslines and twisted beats floating across a melodic urban soundscape - that鈥檚 one way to describe the sound of Arboretum.
The collaborative musical project featuring brothers Chris & Keith Trim, the duo create lush cinematic textures combining a visual and auditory aspect to their live performances.
Working remotely through the UK lockdown, Arboretum has been busy developing and recording new material.
Performing a set of mysterious original tracks with haunting melodies, the duo teamed up with Worcester vocalist Eva Trim for their Virtual Nozstock Festival set.
**How was it recorded?**
The stages at Nozstock are permanent and well away from any public right of way. With no pre-publicity, we risked no audience gathering and ensured all acts were six or less (even though the rules say 鈥渨orkers鈥 can be groups of more than six). Nozstock normally takes place in July, so nobody expected anything to be happening on that site in October (and the site is owned by the farmer who puts on the event).
Acts arrived on-the-hour, every hour, in separate vehicles and were called forward, had their hands sanitised and checked in with Nozstock's own Test & Trace QR code.
Whoever had to handle the equipment was the person providing it 鈥 so there were no back lines and mics/stands/cables were provided by the band. Once they were set up, the band left the stage and Andrew (the only person from the 91热爆) then mic鈥檇 up the guitars, drums and fed the stage monitors (while wearing a face mask!). The stages were marked two metres apart 鈥 and, after the bands used their own mics for an interview, they got back into their vehicles and left. A couple of people from Nozstock then sanitised the whole stage before telling the next group it was safe to leave their vehicle and set up. Any band members wanting to watch/listen to the performance would have to virtually.
To keep staffing to an absolute minimum, these sessions were audio mixed and video edited remotely.
