This is terrific; warmly recommended.
‘Brìghde Chaimbeul is a leading purveyor of celtic experimentalism and a master of the Scottish smallpipes; a bellows-blown, mellower cousin to the famous Highland bagpipes. A native Gaelic speaker, Brìghde roots her music in her language and culture. She rose to prominence as a prodigy of traditional music, but has since begun a journey to take the smallpipes into unchartered territory. She has devised a unique way or arranging for pipe music that emphasises the rich textural drones of the instrument; the constancy of sound that creates a trance-like atmosphere, played with enticing virtuosic liquidity. She draws inspiration from the world of interconnected piping traditions, but her most recent album brings in influence from ambient, avant garde and electronic music.’
Excellent condition. Unopened, tight, no knocks.

‘We proceed along a musical timeline in the same time as we are all making it up, the musical references being around us both in the past and the present as we share what we are doing in a new situation with others who are doing the same but differently and thus continually modifying our own continuum.’
