About the Album
Inspired by my third great-grandfather, James Moses Collie (1807-1872), who journeyed from Scotland to the Seychelles to teach, marry and settle. Montrose to Mahé, is a “crossing” through waves of rhythm and feel. The piece begins with a lilting 6/8 jig that nods to Scottish folk traditions before evolving into an African- infused 12/8 groove, driven by call-and-response exchanges between piano and strings.
