The Forest Sings is an exploration of the gentle unease and uncertainty built up in the Black Forest, like a storm brewing, as four men travel up a hill to play their alphorns. The notes blown have a soothing effect, calming the atmosphere and the tension, merging with the surrounding landscape. In the summer of 2018, Nick was visiting his father in law in the Black Forest with his new-born daughter. Walking with family up a gentle slope, he heard the deep, soothing, but also eerie sounds of the Alphorn. The Alphorn quartet were standing, facing the vast view of rolling green hills, playing a melody which would reach the bottom of the valley. Nick absorbed the very personal sentiments and strange, delicate and beautiful atmosphere of his trip and the alphorn and he is now sharing this with us in The Forest Sings.
