The Arrows that murder sleep

Sensation music portraying dramatic human stories, it soars and tumbles through rich-toned musical soundscapes. From the quite frailty of Brian's Grief to massively imagined soundscapes which, convey the potent connections between sorcery and wordcraft of the ancient tribal world of the Celt.
