FORMATIONS explores the voice as a centre of gravity and a live material to anchor the body into the present. Created through vocal and choreographic improvisation, field recordings and performance scores, Mary's debut album is a mediation on inner and outer landscapes, in-between space and visceral poetics.

FORMATIONS was recorded between the winter solstices of 2022 & 2023 in Akureyri (North Iceland), North Devon (UK), Aldeburgh (UK) and Santander (Spain).

Mary Hurrell (South Africa/UK) is a Bristol based artist and musician working across experimental music, sound and performance. Mary works with her voice and body as both instruments and live materials to explore physical and psychological experience. Centering presence and the felt experience as a poetic and perceptual choreography, she tests the boundaries of movement in the body, spatial and sensory experience, as a composition in time that is unique and common to us all.
