about

A musical journey through woods and fields, by streams and coasts. Recorded live in nature in the Scottish Highlands, the music is accompanied by the sound of birdsong and the wind across the land.

Composed as an interwoven set of melodies, the album draws on poetry, Gaelic and the land for its inspiration. Played on Scottish wire-strung clarsach/ harp with its distinctive clear bell-like sound and long sustain.


'engaging, atmospheric and skilfully understated'
RnR Magazine

'a soothing recording to hear during times of trouble'
Wire Branch of the Clarsach Society
