This record is a celebration of the song, the most constant of musical forms. Composers Garrett Sholdice and Benedict Schlepper-Connolly have arranged, re-composed, weaved and stitched material drawn from the songs they love. Working closely with vocalist Michelle O’Rourke, reed player Seán Mac Erlaine and cellist Kate Ellis, they celebrate the way a melody or a lyric can live in memory, heart and limb— turning, dissolving and re-forming, but never vanishing. Experiences become transformed and transfigured, while other perspectives and insights come in the form of deeply reflective improvisations. A 13th century hymn becomes a spacious meditation over a drone.
