The eleven songs without words are realised by Megan Reeve on harp, Kathryn Moorhead on flute and Katie Chilmaid on viola, with orchestration by Andrew Blyth. The recording was made at Move Records studio.

In the artist’s words

When I brought the pieces together as a collection, it was evident that the sound of the flute and harp pervaded the music. Megan and Kathryn of the Miscellany Ensemble were gracious enough to express a willingness to devote their time and energy to work with me in realising this recording. This is music that is intended for quiet, reflective listening. The recording is dedicated to my mother, Sheila Blyth.
