    Limited edition 10" translucent vinyl plus an accompanying 20-page artists' book, designed by Tommy Perman, tracing the development of the project to date, from its original installation in Galloway Forest's Dark Sky Park to this latest release.

    Professor Simon Kirby discusses the origins of the phonaesthemes (words whose form seems to evoke their meaning directly) which are at the core of the project. The 'light words' in Sing the Gloaming - glimmer, glitter, glow, gleam and gloom - all evolved from a single word spoken over 5,000 years ago.

    The trio also gives some insight into the collaborative process used to create the latest iteration of this project on light, language and landscape.

    "Simon Kirby, Tommy Perman and Rob St John use sound and sculpture to trace the history of words as part of a wider movement enlightening science through art" THE WIRE
