Becoming River .....a musical walk inspired by Salisbury River Park

Karen Wimhurst, a South West based clarinettist and composer, has created a series of 8 short musical pieces inspired by the Salisbury River Park and the neighbouring Avon Valley Nature Reserve.

Initial ideas for these compositions began on a wet dawn walk, recording on site, as well as underwater recordings made by Adrian Newton in the River Park. These varied tracks feature a number of musicians; Ed Bersey - percussion; Julia Blinko - soprano; Emily Burridge - cello; Paul Hutchinson - accordion; Ricky Romain - sitar; Robin Walter - guitar; Karen Wimhurst - vocals, clarinets, piano. A musical representation of this unique part of Salisbury, this music is a wonderful way to experience life on, in and around the River Avon
