The Enduring and the Ephemeral by Steve Tyler Steve Tyler : The Enduring and the Ephemeral.
 Hurdy gurdy based multitrack music for the end of time.

This is the first CD by hurdy gurdy player Steve Tyler fully comprising his own compositions. (He has previously played and recorded with medieval bands Daughters of Elvin, Misericordia and Woodwose; also, more in the balfolk style, with The Wendigo, Angles and with Jon Swayne and Becky Price.)

There are a few other musicians playing on the CD, most notably on:-

Tethys (track 7): Katy Marchant sings in her ethereal textless way over a building texture created by hurdy gurdies (including the clacking of keys) and reed organ, inspired by the crashing of waves on the beach. The improvised line is taken over by bass viol played by Mike Edwards. Mike (an enthusiastic player in many local bands and an original member of Electric Light Orchestra) was killed in an unlikely accident just before a gig with us (Daughters of Elvin) in 2010. Katy subsequently dreamt of him as a whale, singing and swimming freely amongst the waves. He would have been perfect for this piece and I was lucky to find a single recording from 2007 of his solo improvisation. It so happened that this fitted almost perfectly, as if he had this future track in mind.

Lullaby (track 9): The original version (cittern, voice and violin) created spontaneously beside a dying fire after a nocturnal music session with Jane Harbour during one of her visits to Brancepeth Castle. Jane plays with the band Spiro and was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 to compose Kynde, premiered by the BBC Concert Orchestra and BBC singers in March 2017.
