Alice Boyd

Musician and sound artist Alice Boyd releases ‘Return of the White-Tailed Eagle’, a powerful collaboration with the RSPB. The track marks the 50th anniversary of the successful reintroduction of the UK’s largest bird of prey. Built from ambient woodland sounds recorded at an RSPB reserve, the song is a transportive prelude to the forthcoming conservation film, ‘Return’. A beautiful fusion of art and ecological storytelling.

Such a perfectly realised amalgamation of concept, melody and landscape is vanishingly rare, but on Cloud Walking, Alice Boyd achieves it with an easy grace.
