When I first heard the Gori omen’s Choir in 2014, I was blown away by the sound of their voices.

I’d never heard such ability to hold this type of intense focus on a single note before.

This 24-piece all-female choir are from Georgia, the country of my birth,

and the recordings took place in late 2015 and Spring 2016 within the town of Gori.

In the absence of an appropriate recording studio, my co-producer Cecil and I built a recording lab

at the The Culture Centre in Gori out of 12 boxes of equipment we had shipped over from England.

The recordings came out beautifully, full of life and colour (don’t be surprised to hear kids playing in the

background as there was a playground just outside the windows of the room we recorded in!)

In Bob Chilcott, our choral arranger, I couldn’t have wished for a better musical and cultural translator.

He really understood the power of this vocal orchestra and helped to design their role with great consideration,

applying haunting levels of restraint and giving them equal positioning in the storytelling.

I still believe in the magic of physical albums and I felt a masterful

visual artist was needed to create the world of winter that is in these songs.

I found Niroot Puttapipat’s illustrations on the cover of ‘The Nutcracker’ in my local bookshop,

and am truly grateful to him for bringing his craft to the album’s front cover,

as well as to sit perfectly alongside some of the songs in this album.

I hope you enjoy listening to In Winter as much as we enjoyed making it.
