Project Lono is a collaborative experiment between electronic musician S.J. Forth and poet Bob Beagrie, who are exploring the integration of the spoken word with original music and sound scapes. They perform many of these tracks live at various spoken word and poetry events. These tracks are mainly from the second album 'Dindsencha'. Their first album, 'Briers',  was released in the summer of 2012.
'How Man Was Made Again' features backing vocals courtesy of Henwen, sampled from from 'Rissognolet' (Echoes 2006), 'Prodigal' features an original Piano score composed for the poem by 'Glenn Maltman', 'Green Spell', 'Holding Liquid' and 'Forest Call' feature the far out funk guitar sounds of Carl Walton, 'Lady of the House of Sleep' features throat singing over and undertones by the amazing Kev Howard, 'A Lesson In Letting Go' and 'Slow Recovery' both feature the sweet melancholic guitar of Glenn McDougall.

We are proud to be a part of the underground artistic scene in the mythical land of Teesside where creative genius thrives like fungi through the post-industrial urban gloaming. We hope you dig this stuff.
