Music for the Moon and the Trees

Date: 1st July 2023
Time: 9:15 pm
Location: Dreel Halls
Other Events

Live Performance for the East Neuk Festival.

It is Midsummer 2019 and childhood friends, guitarist Morgan Szymanski and experimental musician Tommy Perman, took time out in a woodland cottage in rural Scotland to record an album: Music for the Moon and the Trees.

Taking sounds recorded in the surrounding woodland – trees, birds, bats – Morgan and Tommy improvised and the album slowly emerged. The result is delicate, softly spoken, atmospheric. For us, Tommy and Morgan come together afresh to perform a live version of their album with visuals.
