Additional Information
by Strange Rainbow (Catriona McKay, clarsach and Alistair MacDonald, live electronics)
we have been taking inspiration from old harp manuscripts since we first started working together - one of our earliest gigs was spun around tunes from the ancient Welsh Robert ap Huw manuscript
for this new record Catriona chose old Scottish laments and melancholic melodies, and we set about weaving our magic with them and composing new music
on the title track Catriona bows the harp with a Brasilian fiddle (rabeca) bow
Alistair stretches and warps the sounds into long drones, delicate textures
a thunderstorm rumbles around the hills and the rain clears the air; the North Atlantic marches up the beach; a crow listens
