SLEEPING STATES In The Gardens Of The North (2009 UK 9-track
CD album - Sleeping States is the musical project of Bristol-based
Markland Starkie, a uniquely talented artist who has been boldly
evolving and flowering for the past few years. An upbringing learning
various musical instruments and classical theories fused with a DIY
punk, experimental-noise ethos is at the heart of Sleeping States. Yet
within this experimentation and exploration there remains a regard for
beautiful melodies and arrangements, while binding the whole
together is Markland's exquisite voice. Armed with an electric guitar,
found sounds and vocal samplers Markland has been releasing his
music for a number of years. Lots of books have been read and 'In
the Gardens of the North' has literary inspirations aplenty. Opening
track 'Rings of Saturn' is a eulogy for WG Sebald while second track
'The Next Village' is inspired by Kafka. Conceptually Robbie Basho,
Jorge Luis Borges and soundscape theorist R Murray Schafer are
referenced and Benjamin Britten is mused upon. The results are
hypnotic and riveting, with Markland's voice floating atop gorgeous
guitar motifs and weaving mesmerising harmonies. 'In the Gardens of
the North' is without doubt the most accomplished and far reaching
Sleeping States musical vision to date!)
