Welcome to Rapunzel and Sedayne's Soundcloud page where you can hear things that aren't available anywhere else. Even the things that are feature here in different takes and arrangements reflecting our love of chance and change as an integral part of The Folk Process. Thus we constantly evolve new material or else take new approaches to old stuff for the sheer pleasure of keeping things fresh. And it's all live too - no overdubs on point of policy and principle (although there is a couple here - see if you can spot them - and there's a special prize for the first who does...).
