ＦΛＲΛ - The Orkney Series - Energy Islands: 'Merry Dancers'

Описание: Episode 5: Merry Dancers

In this brand new Orkney Series, we take you through the sets from our newly released album, Energy Islands! See the places that inspired them, and hear a bit of the music. If you like what you hear, head to faramusic.co.uk to buy the full thing!

Orkney has lead the way in renewable energy innovation since the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) took up residence there in 2003. Though the islands may be geographically small, they provide ideal conditions for the advancement of techniques to harness energy from a number of renewable sources, including wave, tidal and solar. We are proud that our homeland is proving such an important hub for these developments, and felt we would like to base our 3rd studio album around this theme. These are our Energy Islands, and we hope you'll enjoy the music that we've created to reflect them!

For our fifth episode, Catriona and Jeana talk about a natural phenomenon that many of you will be familiar with - the northern lights, or merry dancers, as they're described here. These beautiful light shows are a relatively frequent occurrence in the skies above Orkney, and so we related to Lucy Dougall's beautiful description of them in her poem as soon as we heard it.

A huge thank you to our videographer Graham MacIver at Studio 27 for the amazing job he’s done showcasing Orkney and the north west Highlands in this series.

Hope you enjoy Episode 5!
