We reworked a classic and we're really pleased with the results.
You can hear the full version on Saturday night at our EP launch, including the wonderful @helenalogah adding her magic live on viola!
A huge thanks to @ViolinBiscuit's providing stringy goodness on the record!
Thanks so much Tom, Steve, the FOTN moderators & wonderful folks that voted!
Thrilled that my solo track Sojourn is one of this week's Fresh Faves & great timing - a year to the day since an @OpLightfoot tune made it to the mixtape & got aired!
So, Happy Fresh on the Net Day!
Tomorrow night!
Tune in for a bit of a spotlight on #ClassicalMusic & how things look for artists & producers working in related genres. Tune in from 8pm BST!
It's April #BandcampFriday which means only 2 things - we get more money if you buy our tunes, and any other artist you buy from does too!
We've been doing our whole collab thing for a little while now - here's just a selection!

It's #WorldPoetryDay, so here are a few works of ours that feature poetry!
The first is our piece Of the Earth feat. Ewa Ladkowska, who recorded her part in English, Polish & the original German. The text is borrowed from Mahler's Song of the Earth.

We've had the pleasure of collaborating with the wonderful Becky Sowray on a number of commissions & performances over the years - here's her work for our piece Entropy in 2018! Must do it again sometime!
