about

Myself and Drew Wright - aka Bards Of Caledon (or these days Hoch Ma Toch - hochmatoch.bandcamp.com) recorded these pieces in rehearsal for two live gigs we did together in February 2016.

The first was in The Living Mountain, which Lindsay Todd (firecrackerrecordings.bandcamp.com) ran as an art space and occasional record shop in Edinburgh's Summerhall for just a couple of glorious years.

The second gig - and the main reason for us pulling this material together - was following the screening of the documentary Voice Of The Eagle - The Enigma Of Robbie Basho in Glasgow's very splendid Glad Cafe.

Arranged in part by lifelong Basho heids 12th Isle (12thisle.bandcamp.com), who had caught wind of our activities via the Mac-Talla Nan Creag project on the aforementioned Firecracker Recs, which Drew and I made along with Neil McDonald aka Lord Of The Isles (lordoftheisles.bandcamp.com) - it was a pretty special evening for many reasons.

We only really played this material a few times - first during this rehearsal, which is what you see and hear here; then at those subsequent gigs. Each performance was slightly different as it is fairly spontaneous in nature.

I unearthed the recordings recently and felt it was time they were aired & shared with the wider world. These should sound pretty much how they did when we played them - all live, no overdubs. The only post production I've really done here is a little EQing, level adjustment, and some light chopping of beginnings and endings. Due to the semi improvised approach there are of course wee imperfections here and there - no mistakes though, only happy accidents.

I hold a great fondness for this music and I hope you all can get something from it too.

Other Lands Edinburgh, UK

Other Lands has always made music and always will. Not concerned too much with genre, more mood & going beyond the self. Trying to make it universal, as much for those who came before as for those yet to appear.
Hope that helps.
