about

A small Christmas gift to our Tree & Bell subscribers.

Drones, a crackling river, squawking seagulls. What would it be like to transfer and interpret the layers and types of sounds in these field recordings onto instruments and into improvisations?

This album may well be updated and added to as we go through the project, so do check back here (we'll send you a message when we add a new set of recordings), similarly to the 'rehearsal tapes' subscriber album. We have a couple of other projects on the way.

More ideas into the new year...
