1. Lines on the Map comp.
Rutherford arr. Rutherford / Duncan / Stuart Clark
Inspired by the music of the African Kora, and the idea that you can
travel easily through music.
2. Weaving comp. Rutherford
A conversation between harp and double bass. This piece, originally for
harp and cello, was written for harp friend Elinor Evans to perform
in her school leaving concert.
3. Insomnia comp. Rutherford
That wired feeling.
4. Still Space comp. Rutherford. arr. Duncan / Rutherford
5. Dallan comp. Rutherford. arr.
Duncan / Rutherford / Martha Bean / Stuart Clark
The octatonic scale used in this piece is reminiscent of Eastern European
folk melodies. The title means 'tune' in Hungarian.

Rutherford / Duncan / Martha Bean
This emerged from an improvisation session: a pause in time.
7. Toccata for the Scottish Harp comp. Rutherford. arr. Duncan / Rutherford / Martha Bean
