Back at the start of 2025 we pitched an idea to our friend Liam Slevin , the creative director of The Auxiliary Project Space and Middlesbrough Art Week. We wanted to make something beautiful and uplifting that celebrates sustainable energy - and specifically - the offshore wind farm in Teesside. But we really wanted it to be huge and awe inspiring like the turbines themselves. 

In Feb 2025 we started filming the turbines. Battered about in all weathers we lived and breathed sustainable energy and began work on a composition in 3 movements. With a powerful interview from turbine engineer Ray Robinson we made the first ambient movement, composed a Reich-like, orchestral piece for part two and finished with an anthemic AMCA style pop song. 

Liam miraculously found a way for us to realise our grand vision. He secured the big tech we needed and Middlesbrough Town Hall for a performance on the festival’s opening night. 

We put a small ensemble of brilliant, talented musicians together - Morag Galloway, Helen Madden and Hilaire Agnama - and with the help of Al McNihol and Simon Cole (live sound and video tech respectively) performing The Power of 3 was one of the highlights of our professional career .
