Maureen is an oboist, improviser, composer who plays with Free Women, Noisy Women, London Improvisers Orchestra and Free Range Orchestra.
Maureen has longstanding interest in the now forgotten sonic world of the anchoress. Anchoresses were medieval religious women who voluntarily withdrew from society to live in permanent, consecrated solitude, often walled into a small cell (anchor-hold) attached to a church.
From 1464 for at least 100 years there was an anchoress living in a cell attached to Faversham’s parish church, St Mary of Charity. Pilgrims would have visited the anchoresses to pray, commune, and make offerings.
Inspred by this history, Maureen will create a sound piece which imagines and echoes the sonic world the anchoresses would have experienced, and bring it to life through her instruments, field recordings taken outside the original church window and the evolving organs and bellows of The Hot Tin.
We can't wait to play alongside Maureen in this partly homage, partly call to the present past of the anchoresses and The Hot Tin.
