about

The album draws on the film’s ancient Celtic setting, conjuring up atmospheric images of rain-drenched moorlands and shadowy forests. The project has been a particularly personal one for Dobrowolski: while the film only required 15 minutes of music, he has continued to work on it, expanding the score to nearly 53 minutes in length. It brings together an accomplished cast of performers from far and wide, with recordings made in Warsaw and London.
Weaving their way throughout the whole album are the vocals of Kari Amirian, with everything from soft lullabies to rousing vocal chants. Further contributions come from two members of Polish Celtic band Shannon: soothing whistles and fiery mandolins from Marcin Rumiński, and the plaintive sounds of the solo violin and the Swedish keyed fiddle, the nyckelharpa, from Marcin Drabik. Delicate classical guitar melodies come courtesy of British multi-instrumentalist Richard Carter, who also embellishes the album with steel-string acoustic guitar, mandolin and octave mandola. Providing a backdrop to it all are the strings of the Warsaw-based Fair Play Quartet.
