Trelya were invited to visit PK Porthcurno in June 2023 to take part in their “digital takeover” programme. Every week for the month after the visit, those taking part worked with local musician and composer, Matthew Thomason, to develop a playful and musical response to their visit in the form of a song, making this a very special digital takeover. Thank you PK Porthcurnow!
"We wanted to incorporate lots of the inspiring forms of communication that we experienced at the museum, and we used the telegram messages on display to form the basis of our lyrics (see 'Love will find a way, Sparrow'). We wanted to think about future forms of communication, so we played around with feeding these telegram messages into an AI system as prompts to see what lyrics they relayed. Some of these we used in the track as well as working on some original lyrics as a group. For some of the rhythms you can hear we used Morse code dots and dashes to create counter-rhythms to the main beat and these can be heard in the background claps in the chorus."
