Riches
Riches is the manifestation of an ongoing dialogue between Catherine McCandless (of Young Galaxy) and Wynn Holmes (choreographer). It is a multidisciplinary, intercontinental collaboration of music, dance and performance. Songs and recordings are the first iteration of the project, and take a narrative approach to themes concerning the performance of creative rituals, identity, transgression and devotion.
Our first record, Fantasy Chapel (2020) described the monstrous and sacrificial side of devotion to the creative process (what we called the ‘creative entity’), and our new material makes a shift in emphasis to the love and longing for the state of mind, the place, the altered reality, and the exultant state of being in its presence. A visual narrative of folk horror guides the parameters of our created world and music. New music continues to be concept based, exploring the vampire figure, longing, and fever dreams.
