Grit is the last studio album by Scottish celtic fusion artist Martyn Bennett. It was released Oct 13, 2003 on the Real World label.
The song was a marked departure from his previous albums in that Martyn's was reliant on using samples as he was too weak to play his instruments. Also by the time of the album it was now clear that there was every danger that it may prove his last, that he was in effect writing his own musical epitaph.
The name "Grit" was chosen to represent the double edged nature of his life at that time, for as well as representing the courage required to carry on his life as normal instead of merely giving up in despair, grit can also be something irritating and debilitating (eg. grit in the eye)
The track "Liberation" drew some unlikely praise from some circles within the Free Church of Scotland and Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland - the track is based around a reading by Michael Marra of Psalm 118. The track "Rant" sampled Jimmy MacBeath.
The album Mackay's Memoirs featuring Martyn's compositions was recorded by Broughton High School the morning after his death in 2005, those involved only discovering about Martyn's death after they'd finished.
Despite his struggles with ill-health, multi-instrumentalist Martyn Bennett continues to be in the vanguard of those mixing traditional music and technology.This, his fourth album, features a cycle of Gaelic songs sung by his mother Margaret, and the family connection is extended with sampled field-recordings of his grandmother and great-great grandfather. Bennett has framed and interleaved mum's bright, delicate yet wiry vocals with restrained touches of fiddle, pipes, guitar, bass and percussion, as well as a wealth of found sounds -- birds, bees, a ticking clock and a fishing-boat's bilge-pump -- digitally transformed into loops and rich background textures. Other samples include the sound of a 1920s threshing machine, woven into the reaping song Buain A' Choirce, Bosnian artillery fire in the bitter lament A Theˆrlaich ñig, and wild Native American chants and drumming on the 19th-century Canadian composition Oran Nam Mogaisean.Profound in conception and assured in execution, Glen Lyon is a bold, brilliant and often deeply moving synthesis of modern studio capabilities and the ageless potency of ancient songs, catalysed by one of the most fertile musical minds in the business.
