Preseli BlueStone
https://christianaharle.bandcamp.com/releases
This is driving, hypnotic journeying music played on bluestone mixed with spirit voice singing. Recorded in the Preseli mountains of Wales in 2017 with the assistance of grandfather and grandmother bluestones and voice added in Nick’s studio. Assisted by Martin Wilford and Nicholas Breeze Wood. There are many stones on that hill that resonant. No damage was done to this National Treasure.
