In an endlessly prolific and unpredictable career spanning more than 40 years, his diverse output defies the existence of any definitive biography or discography. Primarily recognised as a solo artist and writer of extended song, he is also an active cross-genre collaborator. Recent work includes &#8220;deep wallpaper&#8221; music with Daniel O&#8217;Sullivan, and the potentially global site-specific Here Is A Big Place project with Raymond MacDonald. Initially a rare live performer, he has embraced the stage, playing throughout Europe in the past few years.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3490180719\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nofansrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/chasing-the-apocalypse-quiet-the-loud-world\">Chasing The Apocalypse \/ Quiet the Loud World by Richard Youngs<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>West Virginia born, Texas raised, and now based in Glasgow, Scotland, Heather Leigh is a musician, artist and gardener who loves to sing and play pedal steel guitar. Impossible to pigeonhole, her playing is as physical as it is phantom, combining spontaneous compositions with psychedelic folk and industrial-strength progressive rock. Leigh\u2019s steel mainlines sanctified slide guitar and deforms it using hypnotic tone-implosions, juggling walls of bleeding amp tone with choral vocal constructs and wrenching single note ascensions. Hers is a sound that&#8217;s highly sensual and aesthetically aggressive, beautiful and fearless. Heather Leigh&#8217;s work is all-over-the-place in the best way, from collaborations with Peter Br\u00f6tzmann and Shackleton to properly mind-bending solo albums on Ideologic Organ, Editions Mego and Boomkat Editions.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xqWnTRYI6dQ?si=I4KH4Q573mdTXl4d\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Luke Fowler is an artist-filmmaker from Glasgow.\u00a0 He is a member of the band AMOR and has collaborated with Richard Youngs both live and on record for over 20 years.
