'Songs for the Mist Forest' is the second album by childhood friends, classical guitarist Morgan Szymanski and artist Tommy Perman. While their first album explored sounds of the Scottish woodland where Tommy's parents live, their new album is inspired by Morgan's ranch in the mist forests of Valle de Bravo, Mexico. The music evolved from a soundtrack Morgan and Tommy produced for the documentary film 'El Dragón de los Bosques de Niebla' (The Dragon of the Mist Forest). The documentary shines a light on the ecocide that's happening in Valle de Bravo. Overdevelopment is destroying the forests that are home to Abronias, beautiful small reptiles native to the region and the 'dragons' of the film's title. Through 11 new compositions Morgan and Tommy expand on the documentary's theme of environmental crisis. Their music fuses Morgan's guitar-playing with numerous field recordings of Valle's local wildlife and habitat using a series of innovative production techniques. The album highlights certain species that are close to disappearing: fireflies, birds, crickets, and Abronias which are now on the red list. Together Morgan and Tommy have crafted a suite of music that celebrates the beauty and vitality of our natural world and provides a call-to-action to save it while we still can.
