Of these three, probably only "To a Mountain Daisy" is usually heard in the mainstream Burns repertoire. While it is in the customary Scots Tongue, the other two that I have chosen are in Standard English, which indeed was the language of much of his work. All three are illustrative of Burns the Son Of The Soil rather than Burns the Patriot or Burns the Political Animal: although today it is possible to ascribe political sensibilities into the two "English" ones, 18th Century Scotland was a very different place from 21st Century Britain.

The world is oppressed by the domination of mechanical devices, which control so much of what we do, limit our actions and dictate what we may think.  This short tape piece, created in the dying days of the twentieth centuary using a short sample recorded in Berlin, and with

Written in 2001 and performed in Havana that year as part of the "Door" Project.
