    I Once Had A Sprig Of Thyme/Playing For Thyme - Trad/Doug Eunson
    A wonderful traditional song reflecting on the speed at which life seems to pass us by. Nestled in the heart of the track is this cheeky five time piece with a very appropriate title.

    Sistere (verb, Latin): To stand still

    Intarsia (noun, English): A style of knitting with different strands of varied colours and textures.
    An elaborate form of marquetry using inlays of wood.
    Our desire is to create an acoustic intarsia: An intricate blend of patterned musical sounds using wooden instruments and voice.



    'Sistere' dropped on my mat this week - what a joy! Sarah Matthews is no stranger to English folk music circles but perhaps you may not have yet discovered the magic that is Jo May who casts away any preconceptions about percussionists (hooray for the rhythm-explorers!). Her deep musicality and joy for sound, rhythm and taking tunes into new wardrobes of colour and rhythm make this a wonderful partnership. Her compositions are beautiful and extraordinary.
    Together they breathe new light and playfulness into great tunes and songs, whether traditional or newly composed and these ladies' compositions stand tall.
    I also love the photos which hint at what to expect - this CD will brighten and inspire every ear!
