Our new album, On A Wing and A Prayer – Reflections on Deeside’s Changing Habitats, was released yesterday in Aberdeen by Pete and Joe Stollery and I with a drinks reception, short performance from the album and the chance to ask us questions about the music and its creation.
On Saturday 8th February at 6pm at the Pathfoot Building, University of Stirling, (tickets here) we’ll be performing the whole album with the full 8-speaker setup. I can’t wait to perform with this immersive soundtrack again, from my alter ego, composed by Joe, at the back of the hall to the very scary and all consuming impression of the river in full spate.
There is also Charles Ross‘ incredible -the new forest-, which comes all the way from Iceland as well as Paul Anderson’s Bonnie Glen Quoich.
Here’s a short taster of what to expect:
The performance will be part of a full day of activities with sound and art workshops led by Pete Stollery and our album artist, Orla Stevens. Here’s Orla’s fabulous design for our sleeve notes:
