Lizzie Gutteridge(member of The York Waits & Blondel) explores historically informed interpretations of pieces from historical manuscripts, ranging from 13thc dance tunes through 15thc chansons and 16thc consorts to divisions on a ground from the 17thc. The music is given the lightest of modern make-overs with the aid of live looping equipment which records and plays back what happens on stage. Much of this material lends itself well to the layers and cycles that can be produced using the loop station, and most of the musical arrangements are based on the premise of "what might a person from the period when this tune was written have done with this technology, had they had the chance?"
