Spark Like Living Mothers

The follow up to 2021's critically acclaimed Vale, Spark Like Living Mothers is a project born out of a question - what happens at the moment everything stops and restarts again? To this end, the whole album has its roots in an arrangement Goff did of the beautiful choral piece 'If ye love me' by Thomas Talis. A six track collection of immersive, textural and intuitive electronica, the album is testament to Goff's multifaceted practice.

The album's lyrics were written with Sam Potter of Late of the Pier, whose work explores dreams and creates realities. Using an Artificial Intelligence algorithm that Potter has been working with for over 2 years to process and create material, the pair generated text that formed the poem 'Spark Like Living Mothers'. 

'Spark Like Living Mothers' is also accompanied by artwork from artist, illustrator and legendary underground tattooist Ruth Marten. Furnished by Simon with the music, a poem and a brief explanation of the project, the resulting image perfectly represents the playful, creative elements of the album. Simon Goff is a composer and producer based in Berlin, DE. He has worked with some of the world's most acclaimed musicians as a collaborator and a sound engineer including Academy Award-winning composer Hildur Guonadottir on Joker and Chernobyl - both of which earned him Grammy Awards, as well as Johann Johansson and Apparat among many others.
