The Wickhampton Hare is part of the numinous medieval paintings on the walls of Wickhampton church. The church sits at the edge of a great marshland, a provisional and wild place from where Amrita found the clay to make this Hare

Also depicted on the church walls are the living and the dead speaking to each other. I interpret this conversation between skeletons and humans as an animistic spell, a circular riddle on the nature of change and transformation:

“as you are now, so once were we,
as we are now, so shall you be”

As the living and dead speak to each other, the Wickhampton Hare leaps out of the scene.

This music was composed (by me and Wickhampton) through sonic alchemy - involving a process of transmuting the letters of the riddle-poem into an aeolean mode over 4 octaves to make this leaping melody-death-life-hare-spell.
