Whisper Along the Wind

---

Based in Buxton in Derbyshire, Gordon’s company Creeping Toad sets out to find ways of helping people explore and express their relationship with the world around them. A writer, visual artist and storyteller, Gordon mixes media to give people tools to work with and voices to speak with.

“I believe,” says Gordon, “that we live in a world worth celebrating. When I tell stories, I hope that those stories will inspire people to look a little more closely at the everyday places, plants and animals that surround us. I hope that the people I work with will realise that anything and everything is part of a huge and endless adventure. For me, stories are there to inspire people to enjoy the world around them”

Working alternatively between The Isle of Skye and Delamere Forest just outside Chester, Richard works on neoclassic ambient soundscapes as well as performing live with his ambient jazz outfit, Gifts From Crows Trio. Believing strongly in the power of collaboration, his previous works have been inspired by working with photographers, videographers, dancers and fellow musicians. 

The music of Gifts from Crows began during the covid-pandemic of 2020 but has since evolved far beyond the original neoclassical compositions of lockdown. "Music is a universal language", says Richard, "and the forms adopted by classical, jazz and electronic disciplines can be freely blended to create fascinating new sound worlds."

Explore the work of Richard Laurence through his trilogy of albums as Gifts From Crows and also through the live expression of his music as Gifts From Crows Trio. The music is is also available as beautiful gatefold CDs on Bandcamp.
