The Captive Mermaid

For this song I adapted the words from a traditional Scottish folk tale and set the lyrics to my own music. Recorded at home, the song features my newly acquired hansa veena (Yule Tide 2020 present from Karen), together with hammered dulcimer, mono chord, shruti box, low whistle, tanpura, dan moi, udu, hand pan, chimes, plus random audio clips of waves and the odd seagull. Composed and recorded whilst getting over a dose of Covid-19 and a very sad family bereavement. For more stuff see my non profit YouTube channel
