Scattered among the colonial and shamanic bric-a-brac of Oxford’s cavernous Pitt Rivers Museum, Rhodri Davies’ sextet tease out their alien and befittingly antediluvian semi-scores, engaging with and guided by four ritualistic objects (ceremonial animal masks, a bird-shaped vase and painted bear skull), all selected by John Butcher from the site’s ethnographic collection. The psychogeography of the location has a vivid and curious bearing on what transpires, the ensemble hewing spooky noises from illusory ley-line fissures in the galleries, extracting nuggets of primeval force from the extended aura of Butcher’s gathered artefacts. A skewbald tapestry of animalistic rumblings, scuffs and arco fidgets seem at least partially guided by some elemental uber-Ouija conducting the musicians’ collective muse. Leaving behind the stimuli of unremarkable items, Common Objects have kindled a gnostic drama as mysterious and obscure as a John Cowper Powys passion play.
