Robert Burns: a collection of poems and songs

Synopsis

Robert Burns like you've never heard him before.

Set within modern and vivid soundscapes, this collection gives Burns' texts new resonance. From the soullessness of a call-centre through the simple joy of a baby’s nursery to the horror of the battlefields and all the way into space, this is a visceral roller-coaster through the poems and songs of Scotland’s National Bard.

Produced by multi-award winning, immersive audio company Almost Tangible.
