“It’s a tapestry of contradictions: human voice and digital manipulation, political aggression and private compassion, rural harmony and secret violence, folk and electronica. It is in the fusing of these contradictions that NYX and Gazelle Twin’s music lies. '“ - NEW STATESMAN

‘Deep England’ was a 4 year-long music and performance collaboration with NYX Collective, originally based on Gazelle Twin’s 2018 album ‘Pastoral’. Working with NYX’s musical director and arranger Sian ‘O Gorman, the songs of ‘Pastoral’ were expanded into a set of electrified choral works featuring multiple female voices and electronics, together with a new work by NYX.

From its first outing in December 2018 at London’s Oval Space, the performance was re-mounted as a large-scale production for the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre in November 2019, with staging and costume design by Chloe Lamford, movement direction by Imogen Knight and sound by Peter Rice. The album was recorded for release in 2021 for which it received critical acclaim. ‘Deep England’ LP was co-produced by Marta Salogni, Sian O’Gorman (NYX) and Elizabeth Bernholz (Gazelle Twin) with mix and additional programming by Marta Salogni, and mastering by Heba Kadry. The vocal and live performers were: Adélaïde Pratoussy, Cecilia Forssberg, Elizabeth Bernholz, Natalie Sharp, Ruth Corey, Shireen Qureshi and Sian O’Gorman. The digital, CD and Vinyl versions of the album feature illustrations by Elisa Seitzinger and fonts by Jonathan Barnbrook (Barnbrook Studio).

In 2021 Gazelle Twin and NYX worked with BAFTA nominated filmmakers Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard to create a special performance film of Deep England, filmed at Shoreditch Town Hall.

In 2023, the final performance of ‘Deep England’ took place in the Barbican Hall, as part of the 50th Anniversary celebration of the cult classic, ‘The Wicker Man’.
