Baecastuff - Mutiny Music

2014

Mutiny Music tells the Bounty Mutiny story through music, language & culture, exploring the consequences of this tumultuous act and the subsequent events; as the Mutineers and Tahitians hide from the wrath of the English establishment on tiny Pitcairn’s Isle.

"This is a fantastic work! Beautifully crafted music, outstanding playing, and a very moving story to go with it. An inspirational meeting of history, culture and sound".
Professor Henry Johnson

"There is as much going on here conceptually as there is musically: retelling history using a dense weave of musical forms, Mutiny Music is an extremely unique and valuable album."
Joseph Cummins - The Music Trust

“The breadth of sources is phenomenally wide: the already diverse jazzy elements host Polynesian rhythms and textures, Scottish and Irish snippets, brooding Pitcairn hymns and rap-like pieces based on Norfolk language samples. The results are enthralling.”
