about the cassette

Having lived and worked in numerous musical directions for many years, Semay Wuโ€™s begrudgingly faithful cello still remains at her sideโ€”from Merseyside, to Manchester, to The Netherlands, and now to Central Scotland. Always trying to push the age-old boundaries of how the instrument is viewed and heard, her focus has led her to explore further collaborative and everyday improvisations, blending electronics with mixed media and a variety of gestural art disciplines.

Raspberry Hotel is Semay Wuโ€™s first foray into recorded solo work. Finding it hard to stick to any one brief, she filled a room of a local studio space with toys, everyday objects, instruments, and her cello. Sitting on the floor, she recorded whatever came to mind. A week-long session of improvisations was then taken home, spliced up, and composed and mixed into pieces. Raspberry Hotel is made up of fleeting, off-the-cuff performances that can be listened to as separate tracks or as one long piece.
