A set of compositions by composer Kate Moore written around the concept of connecting memory of places and sensory experience, the album centres on the major piece, Ridgeway (2009). Moore is at her most expressive in those immersive, visceral works, as she refers to personal experience and memories. In the title piece, Ridgeway, the giant white horse of Uffington, set in the dramatic prehistoric landscape where Moore lived for a time as a child, comes to life as in a powerful dream. The pieces on the album cover a period in the composer’s output between 2009 and 2019; they are linked by her deep fascination for the natural forces that shape the world, and her ability to articulate and express it through her music. Ridgeway is Kate Moore’s second album on Unsounds after the critically acclaimed Revolver in 2021.
