March 21 2026, Spring Equinox and Water Is The Sun performed a live ritual at the SoundArt Radio Studios inside the Dartington Hall Estate, Devon. The evening was to promote their new album "Ritual Fever" on Trome Records.
Over the last 2 MuhMur Radio broadcasts I have been playing tracks from this album, now available from Trome Records at https://tromerecords.bandcamp.com.
Water Is The Sun is comprised of Mkl Anderson (Drekka/TrembleWith Joy) and Adam Parks (Timber Rattle). "Ritual Fever" is available from their Bandcamp page https://wateristhesun.bandcamp.com. A recoding of the live ritual can be found at;

Support on the evening came from Al Fresco Skronk Squadron. Al Fresco is the project of The Durds vocalist/songwriter Dan Cray. Al Fresco liver performances are usually performed outdoors. I first came across the sound of Al Fresco Skronk Squadron when he was wandering the High Street of Yeovil with a cake trolley filled with amplifiers, effects boxes and electronic devices ... and cupcakes (of course). This was during the Wyrd Wild West Festival of 2023. This performance / ritual featured recordings made around the Dartington Estate using contact mics, hydrophones and field recordings of the Deer Park and steam trains.
I am (unfortunately) having problems with my computer so I am keeping this 'report' short, but thanks to all that came to see the bands and experience SoundArt Radio, hopefully more MuhMur Radio / SoundArt Radio live collaborations will appear in the coming months ..
Big thanks to Mkl, Adam, and Dan.
