Of Mountains and Fields – Pre-orders
I am thrilled to announce that the full album ‘Of Mountains And Fields’, which consists of the War Suite and the Cerqueto Suite, is available for advanced orders – release date 23rd of October!
It was recorded using orchestral samples combined with my solo flute, no AI in sight.
The War Suite is based on events of the First World War. Love, loss, battle and camaraderie, the suite follows a young man through it all as another face in the crowd of soldiers. It’s a period that has always resonated with me because my great uncle Jack was at one point the oldest living British veteran of WW1.
The Cerqueto Suite I wrote as a thank you to the people of Cerqueto, a village up in the mountains in Abruzzo Italy that I first visited in 2018 with Marco Lo Muscio when we played at the start of their amazing 'Living Nativity'. My wife Katrin and I have been invited back by Angelo and friends several times. I wanted to show our gratitude by writing this suite of pieces based on scenes around the village including the Gran Sasso mountain at dawn, the Church of Saint Reparata and the sheep fountain.
We are really sorry - but due to changes in customs and import fees, we are no longer offering physical products for sale outside of the UK.
It will be available for digital download on BandCamp after the release date.
