Solstice by Escape Unplugged

On June 21st - the summer solstice- I was fortunate enough to be invited to play at Stonehenge!

It wasn't at Salisbury Plain, however, for a revival of the Stonehenge Festivals of old, but the amazing Heritage Key virtualisation of Stonehenge.

This EP is a live recording of a new series of music I put together especially for this solstice gig, recording directly off the mixing desk at the time. Live recordings have their flaws along the way of course, lacking that perfect polish of the carefully crafted recording studio production, but as so much of what I play is improvisational then this recording will never be the same again and will only once be performed on the solstice.

The 3 parts of the recording are a musical reflection of a solistice celebration - anticipation and journeying, dancing and celebrating (with a nod of inspiration to the famous Stonehenge festivals of old) and the point at which the sun crests the horizon, beginning the longest day.

This EP is offered as a "name your price" download. You're welcome to download it for free if you want, I'm cool with that, but if you like it and want to pay for it, that's cool too :) No one else than me ever gets the money (Steve Jobs isn't taking his cut!).

Hope you enjoy "Solstice"!
