Following their acclaimed mix-tape series on Signum Classics, Earthcycle is the fifth album from Orchestra of the Swan and David le Page. Earthcycle is an innovative and timely project which finds a compelling way to engage with humanity's most urgent threat. Through three initial performances, a recording and a film, Earthcycle contem- plates our impact on Earth's environment and the disruption of it's natural rhythms. To celebrate the 300th anniversary of Vivaldi's Four Seasons they have commissioned a new version from our Associate Artist, baroque/jazz musician and composer David Gordon which is interspersed with traditional folk songs related to the theme of the seasons and performed by singer Jackie Oates. Earthcycle highlights the 21st century's greatest concern whilst celebrating nature and our place within it.
