Puirt à beul

Recorded as a soundtrack to Mark's first photographic exhibition, this collection takes traditional or established Scottish tunes and reshapes them into ambient soundscapes. The title refers to a traditional form of song native to Scotland and other Gaelic-speaking countries, and translates literally as "tunes from a mouth".
