Invited to contribute a track to Nonclassical “Outside the Lines” compilation.

I’ve been invited to contribute a track to the next Nonclassical “Outside the Lines” compilation, due for release around 18th November. ‘Mountains at Night’ uses extracts from the eponymous poem written by the Nobel prize winning poet, novelist, and painter, Hermann Hesse (1911).

I tried to capture something of the massive dark looming presence one experiences in the mountains at night, by creating a super-low drone with 5-string electric violin, punctuated by deep staccato bow strikes and down-pitched vocals.
