Daisy Rickman - Donsya a'n Loryow

‘Donsya a’n Loryow’ translates in Cornish to ‘Dance of the Moons’. A lot of the songs were written in my homeland's language and are in many ways a homage to the magic of that land. Whilst recording at home in Mousehole I started to notice the times I felt most inspired to make music would fall on certain cycles of the moon. It was these lunar dances that inspired the title and album artwork, which is an oil painting I made of a hand headed moon maiden.

This was my first time learning how to record and mix everything alone in my bedroom, so is quite raw but I enjoyed creating this way. I was more interested in capturing the organic feeling of playing rather than getting a perfect take, which led to a lot of the songs being written within this realm and their seeds growing within the recording process. — Daisy Rickman
