Found Sound for June : Muco

Ffern
About this episode
For June, Alice travels to Swanage in Dorset to meet the songwriter and composer Muco. Together they take a walk through Studland Woods, where he spent time as a child, reflecting on the influence of his mother and father on his love of words, his passion for old and middle English and his love of interpreting stories and folklore from Burundian and English traditions. As they walk Muco plays folk songs with the Inanga to bring in the Summer. Found Sounds are sonic scrapbooks of field recordings and interviews with people keeping heritage crafts alive. They are part of As the Season Turns, an award-winning podcast created by Ffern, makers of small-batch, seasonal perfume. To find out more visit www.ffern.co
