about

The original raw recording of this track is inspired by two of Russell's favourite books are called 'the secret life of plants' by Peter Tompkins, and the secret life of trees by Peter Wohlleben which explain the science surrounding plants and trees, and how they communicate, nurture their young, count and are self aware. The song is about an early morning walk, as the first rays of sun rise, the rustle of the leaves, as trees sway, breathe and call for the bees to come and pollinate them. The music strives to capture the mood of Linda Perhacs Parallelogram's particularly her beautiful Chimacum Rain. The song has been paired with English classical strings, arranged by Russ and Tom Sidebottom.
The raw unmixed version of this track is available on my ep, available through FolkStock Records.
iSaintJames and Russell Jeanes became friends on Soundcloud, and James created this wonderful remix. The final version was tweaked via some small changes following correspondence.
Thank you so much James :)
