Turner Prize winning artist Jeremy Deller will release the soundtrack to his new film work “English Magic” currently exhibited at the Venice Biennale’s British Pavilion as a limited edition EP with The Vinyl Factory. Charged with representing Great Britain at the 55th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia which launches this week, Jeremy Deller has turned to the country’s rich and varied musical heritage for inspiration. The eclectic picture of England Deller presents in “English Magic” through a series of stunning slow motion bird shots, a wintry scrapyard, an inflatable stonehenge and a street parade is reflected in the accompanying soundtrack; a 3 track EP that draws on three major junctures in UK music history. Drenched in cultural significance and recorded at the iconic Abbey Road studios in London, Deller has called upon South London English/Trinidadian steel band the Melodians Steel Orchestra to interpret composer Vaughan Williams’ ‘Symphony in D minor’, seminal UK acid house track “Voodoo Ray” by A Guy Called Gerald and David Bowie’s 1971 pop refrain “The Man Who Sold The World”, for what is a daring and evocative celebration of modern day England.
