The Doomed Bird of Providence are a folk group currently residing in London and Colchester. The band perform songs that are grandiose, doom ridden rendering from early Australian history. The music draws attention to the more adject, harrowing aspects of this history, whilst nodding to the searing drama of Ennio Morricone and the theatricality of Jacque Brel.
Collision/Detection is the second experimental audio project from Long Division with Remainders (LDWR) which sees invited artists submit audio clips into a central pot, which is then distributed around the group for them to do with as they see fit, resulting in a series of digital EPs released across 2012 and 2013.

The 7th EP in the Collection/Detection series comes from The Doomed Bird of Providence.
Released: 28th Jan 2013.

With The Doomed Bird of Providence’s EP the process of making the songs required a fairly radical adjustment of the supplied sounds provided for the project. The main intention was to supply a range of songs to accompany short visual pieces. For this reason the band’s foray into LDWR had a twofold intention; the band were creating short soundtracks as well as incorporating and manipulating the bank of LDWR sounds across the four songs.
The four songs soundtrack four films (either short films or excerpts).
