HomeMartyn Bennett "Glen Lyon" (A Song Cycle) CD
Id:
4004
A song-cycle of Gaelic songs, passed down from generation to generation and containing every aspect of life: birth, love, play, work, death and the supernatural. Martyn weaves archive Gaelic material, field recordings of natural sounds and songs by his mother Margaret Bennett, along with vintage analogue equipment, samples and state-of-the-art effects, into a forward-looking yet deeply rooted soundscape.
