In Perpituity from Westerfjord by Colin Campbell and the Bracadale Collective

Partly recorded on the beach at Greepe Head (all sea and bird sounds 100% in situ). The composition stems from the point during lockdown when we had planned to go to Skye over the Christmas break and then the travel ban came into place. The rain battering off the window in our house brought me back to the many rainy days I spent on that beach - I tried to recreate the serenity of being at the beach in the rain.

I'm a scientist and musician making music at the interface between indie and Scottish traditional music. My album Westerfjord is a love letter to Loch Bracadale and melds diverse influences from indie guitars to the classical music of the bagpipes and blends them with in-situ field recording, archival sound and scientific data.
