about

9. Forest Folk 4:02

For the "FLOOERS” [fauna] of the forest.
- flowers, lusan.
- grass, riasg.
- herb, luibh.
- fern, raineach.
- moss, còinneach.
- liverwort, adha-lus
- algae, lìrea.
- bacterium, lobhag.

This tune is inspired by the other flora of the forest.

My highlights are a sweet-smelling shrub called bog myrtle, the beautiful orchid creeping lady’s-tresses and vibrant-coloured sphagnum mosses that reveal all the beauty and wonder of a coral reef on close inspection. I dedicate this track to folk who love to stroll in the woods, walk their dog or ride their bike. Find a big tree, lie at the foot of the trunk and gaze up at the clouds drifting high above the branches.
