David Rankine, Fernando Villalobos and special friend Daniela Godina gather together their compositional skills and their extensive knowledge of Hebridean, Irish, Scots, Orcadian, European and Indo-Persian folk music and combine it with various contemporary idioms (fusion, rock, jazz) to create a sonic voyage that takes the listener from East to West and back again.

The title speaks of changes in perspective. Travelling and exploration, brings into contact different people,

ideas and ways of being.
