Shaw & Matthias: The Birth of Ossian

Martin Shaw and John Matthias are embarking on an ongoing work, Adventures in the Deep Interior. John is a violinist (Radiohead/Coldcut), Martin a storyteller. No rehearsal, little second guessing, frequently recorded in a wild place.

Shaw & Matthias’s first release is a new reading of the ancient Irish story The Birth of Ossian, recorded by the banks of the River Dart in Devon, in the far west of Britain.
