In ‘Where Now a Dark Wood Stands’, Alexander Chapman Campbell and Julie Fowlis have crafted a stirring musical odyssey that stands as a beacon of protest against the encroaching tide of conifer monoculture in the Scottish Highlands.
Campbell, a true bard of the hills, weaves a tapestry of sound that is at once intimate and expansive, his piano work a conduit for the very soul of the landscape he calls home.
Fowlis’ haunting voice, is a clarion call that echoes through above its accompaniment, her words a notable reminder of the fragile beauty that hangs in the balance. Together, these two artists have created a work of power and urgency, a musical testament to the indomitable spirit of the natural world and the need to protect it at all costs.
