Description
Trecherous Orchestra bassist steps into the solo spotlight with his brilliantly inventive debut album.

A soundtrack to an infinite number of stories, 'Infinite Reflections' is a piece of music commissioned by Celtic Connections for the New Voices 2012 series. A year after its concert dÃ©but, January 2013 saw a rare repeat performance at Celtic Connections in the shape of an advanced launch concert for the eagerly awaited studio album.

A founder member of Scottish folk supergroup, Treacherous Orchestra (nominated in this year's BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards) and bassist for Kate Rusby, Duncan honed his writing and arranging skills with prog-instrumental-folk groups including Croft No. Five and Box Club. A well-known character on the UK folk scene, Duncan has produced over 10 albums by artists like The Shee and Maeve MacKinnon, and has recorded on over 60 albums.

'Infinite Reflections' is Duncan's first major foray into composition. Having received glowing reviews following its dÃ©but performance, Duncan felt compelled to bring the work to a wider audience and breathe new life into the project by recording a studio album.

In the liner notes, Duncan describes the inspiration for the cinematic piece, "While writing this music I drew inspiration from memories, and cultural references that have resonated with me. I have tried to explore my experiences of friendship, adventure, surrealism, love, loss, determination, grit and happiness. Narrative is omitted in the hope that you'll create a story of your own."
