Today was our last rehearsal, tomorrow we’re off to Bremen to record it with Radio Bremen in the Sendesaal Bremen.
We composed seven songs inspired by the lute songs of John Dowland, to the poems of John Donne, William Shakespeare and Anonymous.
You are welcome to listen to the raw and uncut demos.
