Arthur Brown

Arthur Brown joins Jason Barnard, alongside his partner and collaborator Claire Waller, to talk through his new album Nature and a life spent chasing fire, water, air and earth through sound and theatre.

Arthur and Claire describe the return to North Yorkshire, eight miles from Arthur’s birthplace in Whitby, after a decade of travelling together. They walk through how Nature took shape: around 100 fires tested to find a usable rhythm, a river thirty yards from the front door recorded for its rush over rock, and small creatures of the earth captured and worked into the mix. The conversation moves through Arthur’s history: his friendship with Alice Cooper, evenings spent jamming with Jimi Hendrix, a chance encounter with David Bowie, and the six years of work behind Arthur’s current live show.
