Release Notes:
http://www.markmandeville.com/
"the accident that led me to the world" is based, firstly, upon a four track
tape containing
the tracks the accident... and small way. And secondly, a story that later
developed
from the content of these songs. While the band can be referred to as "the
accident",
it is merely the project at hand.
The songs sing of being frightened, aware, and alone amidst a sea of people
immersed
in directionless worry. The underying plot of a small boy escaping to a deserted
island, gaining the prize of life's true value: hope and time.
The boy's escape has been depicted through the artwork of Kristy McColl.
Sea chanteys filtered through bluegrass and late-twentieth century
singer-songwritery, performed by the crew of a ghost ship sailing in a sea of
ennui, the passengers of which have been sentenced to a manner of solitary
confinement that is in many ways self-enforced. Instrumentation of upright bass,
acoustic guitar, banjo, clarinet, violin, and cello. Often one or two voices and
sometimes many. Songs by Mark Mandeville, the lone survivor of the most
calamitous of shipwrecks. Additional players include Raianne Richards, the voice
of a siren and the mouth of a sailor, and Zack Ciras, with skills in bowsmanship
that are unmatched on the eastern seaboard. Recorded in the ghost shipÆs cabin
by Jerry Fels. Will disappear into the horizon in the blink of an eye, leaving
your panoramic ocean view fathomless and without object.
