The Stillness Dancing (album)

Seven pieces of music recorded in seven different locations around the UK each with the accompanying story.

A seven part musical and textual series by musician, composer and writer Douglas MacGregor exploring the connections between music, loss and healing arising from his personal experience of delayed grief 25 years after he lost his mother to cancer at the age of seven. These are songs from the deep, meditations and manifestations of loss, place and memory...and a hymn to hope in disguise.
