Robert Burns

Summary

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.
