Known for her work as a member of the award-winning Riot Ensemble, Scottish cellist Louise McMonagle’s first solo album showcases her deep commitment to collaboration with the composers of our own time.
From John Maxwell Geddes, one of her early musical mentors, to leading composers of the present day such as Liza Lim and Errollyn Wallen, and younger figures including Lisa Streich, Caroline Shaw and Josephine Stephenson, these works draw on the most modern techniques to reinventancient material, including folk tunes, Baroque bass lines, the sound of the Arabian oud, and ancient Gaelic psalmody.
