Eternal Birth [CD]

Eliza Marshall - Eternal Birth [CD]

Inspired by Thomas Hardy's poem Transformations, Eternal Birth is Eliza Marshall's debut solo album and a powerful statement on connection, ancestry and renewal. The album traces the cycles of life from conception to death, revering the natural world as a living archive of peoples' ancestors and exploring the unseen bonds that connect past, present and future generations. Across the record, Marshall creates a rich, cinematic soundscape blending classical, folk and world traditions with flutes, whistles, bansuri, spoken word, percussion and electronics. Produced by Ivor Novello Award recipient Graeme Pleeth, the album features an international line-up of world-class musicians including Ady Thioune and Ansumana Suso (Senegal/The Gambia), Drew Morgan, and Donal Rogers (USA / UK), Johnny Kalsi (UK) and Lena Jonsson (Sweden). Influences range from Steve Reich to Paul Simon, while remaining rooted in Marshall's distinctive compositional voice. 01. They Listen 02. Roots Entwined 03. Our Times 04. New Birth 05.
