The story of this CD is born out of Sophie Harris’s friendship with violinist Rick Koster. For twelve years Rick and Sophie have worked together as members of the Duke Quartet. Whilst on tour they shared mutual interests in philosophy and poetry in the coffee houses of Europe. A couple of years ago, Rick invited Sophie to his home and studio for tea and a chat which developed into improvising and recording, and finally this CD.

This CD is completely improvised in a tiny room, a sort of 'one take roulette' to the point where Sophie could almost not bear to alter anything, however imperfect it was (London traffic, creaky chairs to name but two) - this is not an airbrushed CD. For her, the authentic journey is always paramount – to return to the tradition of a universal language of storytelling.

At the heart of this aural journey is Sophie’s story - a love of the cello and music from the first string quartet concert she attended at an early age.
