This track grew from a theme that I wrote one bonfire night when looking over to the Isle of Arran from the village of Carradale on the East side of the Kintyre Peninsula. It was a pretty spooky sight seeing the small villages on the opposite coast begin their bonfire night celebrations as each bonfire was lit, grew and then fade.

It's a big, mad, cinematic track featuring the Scottish Session Orchestra, Melanie Pappenheim (notable for her work on Doctor Who) and Gus Sicard (Inveraray and District Pipe Band) on snare drum.

Weird, unexplained, apocolypitic-esque sounds in the sky have been heard all round the World for centuries.  Conspiracy theorists claim a number of explanations.  The sounds have been captured on various videos released online and the results are chilling.  Are we hearing the metallic grinding of invisible alien spaceships? Or some kind of ultra low-frequency electromagnetic noise resulting from solar activity? Is it the groaning of the Earth’s crust about to shift in the kind of tectonic apocalypse event the ancient Mayans were trying to warn us about? Are they the final trumpets of God himself?

Featuring soundscapes and melodies inspired by these eerie videos accompanied by specially made staged shaky, amateur handy-cam footage of similar events across the country, this piece asks “What would it be like if this happening was to take place over Scotland?”.
