Alan Burton

About Me

Alan is a product of West Penwith, the very end of Cornwall. Having an avid interest in music, never tying himself to any single domain, his tastes cover the crush of distorted Guitars, the hypnotic charm of world wind instruments, the drive of Uilleann Pipes to the sound of wind rushing through cracks in granite Carns, the lark rising over the dunes, breaking waves echoing against the sheer cliffside. Alan hears music in many things.
Perhaps his fascination with SW radio late at night, hearing strange preachings, guttaral tones, bleeps, whirrs and twangs is incorporated. Maybe he read too much Lovecraft. The clink of boat masts swaying as they rest at harbour.
He has helped to summon sea monsters. Shared boathouses with small birds. Feared the sky. Loved the sea. Swum with sharks. Made mistakes. Put some right.
