about

Tallulah Blue - The Bristol Shadow [Location: Bristol Museum]


“I visited the Bristol Museum as a young child, and returning again as an adult I saw the building and its space in a different light, through different eyes. More recently there was a BLM exhibition in the main hallway, which inspired the creation of my track. I challenged myself to encapsulate a world in music; each section introduces a new instrument set and tempo change to create the sense of entering into a new era. The piece leads the listener through a journey in history, with each section representing a specific time with the cultural changes and controversies that come along with it. It seeks to interrogate, asking for answers and demanding truth in its most vulnerable form. The project has four prominent sections which are titled: ‘The Shadow’, ‘The Statue’, ‘The Flag’ and ‘Bristolians’ - each section presents a different genre theme, symbolising the museum and the people of Bristol in a call and response motion. The final section ‘Bristolians’ is a nod to the Windrush generation, using ska and reggae-influenced styles. The lyrics here have echoes of “London is the place for me”, but in a Bristol style: ‘More than survive / Out here we’re thriving now / We’ll be just fine / Now we’re Bristolians’.” - Tallulah Blue
