Miramoglu Review

Like the film and web project of the same name, the album Dummy Jim has been inspired by James Duthie’s book I Cycled Into The Arctic Circle.

'deep-seated eccentricity'

The album bears the fruit of a collaboration between The One Ensemble & Sarah Kenchington, with gentle guidance from Matt Hulse.

The music will form the basis for the soundtrack of Matt’s feature & the performers are set to appear in the film.

The project was supported by the Scottish Arts Council and Arika.

The first review comes from Brainwashed:

I haven’t seen Dummy Jim yet, but if this soundtrack is any indication, it must be a truly unconventional and memorable film. With the aid of bizarre instrument builder Sarah Kenchington, Daniel Padden and his cohorts have created a kaleidoscopic collision of traditional Anglo-folk, free jazz, drone, and deep-seated eccentricity that sounds like absolutely no one else.
