about

I recorded this album over three years, at the end of my music degree.
I'd learned about how to make good recordings of fiddle music, and I combined this skill with my love of birds, and spent a lot of early mornings wandering around Orkney with a microphone, capturing the sounds of a dawn chorus in springtime.
Much of the time I knew where to go to record a particular bird, such as the blackbird; however the cuckoo and the redpolls were accidental delights!
I carefully mixed the birds with crashing waves, wind in a hedge, a waterfall and a burn, creating a relaxing and natural soundscape.
Many people use this album to sleep and relax, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. I hope you enjoy it....
