Fountainia

EP - No Such Thing Records & Manchester Jazz Festival Originals Commission &

Performance 2022- 2023

Created originally as a new piece for 2022’s Manchester Jazz Festival Originals Commission, this release fuses electronica, keys, saxophone, guitar, accordion and male vocal to create ‘gothic jazz’.

Fountainia explores the waterways and decorative features of Manchester, and Ruby’s connection to these spaces in her home city. In this sonic dream space, huge bird people stalk canals, gargoyles drink from fountains and journeys are made to celestial pools where we swim with manatees under pink skies. Created in collaboration with artists and composers Dirty Freud, Jonoa, KINRAR and Steven Calver, this is Ruby’s second EP following Lagoons and her single Familiars in 2022.
