Widely regarded as one of the greatest works of nature writing in English, Nan Shepherd’s The Living Mountain distils decades of walking among the Cairngorm mountains into a profound phenomenological exploration of being, minutely attentive to every aspect of the landscape and its weathers and their effect on her senses. James Weeks’ new work Plain Air, for Goddard and Rhys, sets passages from Shepherd’s text, situating the singer within a vast sonic landscape of piano and electronic sound.

Moral Injury refers to the experience of enduring negative moral emotions - guilt, shame, contempt and anger - that results from the betrayal, violation or suppression of deeply held moral values. Moral Injury involves a profound sense of broken trust in ourselves, our leaders, governments and institutions to act in just and morally "good" ways. First observed in military veterans, Moral Injury is now recognised in healthcare workers, the emergency services, and law enforcement personnel.
