Jillian LaDage’s debut recording and Tarith Cote’s inaugural release steps through the temples of memory on a journey that leads from the medieval sands of Turkey and the Byzantine Empire to the moors and legends of the ancient Celts.
Tracks & liner notes
New seasonal pieces alongside lesser-known traditional songs, with a wide range of musical nuance from Celtic to Middle Eastern — and a hand-drawn cover that doubles as a colouring page.
Tracks & liner notes
The midsummer fire festival of St. John’s Eve, brought to life as a single with a bonus historical account and a booklet of unreleased photographs. Available exclusively from this site.

How the records are made
Every release in this catalogue was produced by the artist. The arrangements are written at the piano and the harp, demoed at home, and then tracked with players who are given the harmonic frame and trusted with the rest.
The Ancestry was recorded at Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin and mastered at Gateway Mastering Studios in Portland, Maine — the room that finished Loreena McKennitt’s records. The 2016 single was mixed and mastered by Mark Wyse.
