about

Wyrm is the result of two ideas -
Firstly, at night, when I look towards Penshaw Monument, there is a slow moving line of rush hour traffic on the A19 which I often think, looks and sounds (to me), like a huge metallic headlight snake, winding its way slowly down the hill.

Secondly, this giant slow moving metallic serpent reminds me of the myth of the Lambton Worm, a North Eastern English legend from medieval times about a giant snake / dragon that terrorized the region.

Wyrm is created from one short field recording of compressors from the National Glass Centre, to create a slow metallic, scraping hissing rattlesnake.

If you wish to read the tale of the Lambton Worm there’s a great site dedicated to it here via the writer / illustrator Andrew Jenkin
