Karine Cnudde Superb work Olivia ! There's something very incantatory and completely hypnotic about this album that really impressed me. I don't think I've explored all its dimensions yet, even after several listens. Well done, really !

Mario Walschaerts This is in my list of favourite releases of 2023, love it!

'a taut, charged and insightful collection that poses significant questions about political identity, ideological and material borders, and the ways in which our geological environments shape our lives and thinking'

ABOUT

doggerLANDscape is a multimedia suite comprising an album and a video art form based on Doggerland, the land that used to stretch between today’s coast of Britain and Europe. Around 8000 years ago, the river Thames was then connected to the Rhine. Doggerland was a place of human habitation - we were not always an island.

Within Doggerland lies a forceful political and environmental dimension at a time when we have deliberately extracted ourselves from the continent. On Christmas eve 2020, Prime Minister Boris Johnson hailed the Brexit deal, and declared that we - the United Kingdom - are an “independent coastal state”, to then contradict himself seemingly by saying “we will remain culturally, emotionally, historically, strategically, geologically attached to Europe”. How geologically are we attached? And what are the extremities of our island?

Our insularity has emerged over centuries of sea level surging, breaking us from the continent, engulfing lives. It seems that our independent coastal state is temporary as we can expect it to be reconnected during future glacial periods: we are in a transitionary zone. By responding to the present, and the history of the site, doggerLANDscape contributes to question our connection to the continent and situate ourselves as islanders.

The contemplative video art accompanying the album release is based on Louvel’s search for the remnants of the submerged forest of Doggerland on the Lincolnshire coast. It is documenting her geological finds of the ancient tree’s remnants appearing at neap tide.

A series of collectible objects is available along the digital release, 10-inch vinyls and A4 artworks.

'doggerLANDscape' is the 8th studio album by Ivor Novello Award - winning composer and artist Olivia Louvel.

Previously, ‘Doggerland Channels’ (2022) - a generative sound mural - was presented at Phoenix Art Space, Brighton for the first edition of the Sound Art Brighton festival, and was reinstalled for Middlesbrough Art Week 2023.
