about

Cinematic, contemporary and captivating, From the Ground is an ode to nature and its infinite power to heal. It carries an urgent message for its listeners – we must cherish our planet – and celebrates how connecting with our natural environment can benefit our mental health.

Samples of whistling winds from Skye, crashing waves from Harris beaches, sounds of the forest from the outskirts of Glasgow and the crackling fire from Ali’s own home are layered with bold organic instrumentation and poignant lyricism to create a stunning self-composed piece of work which is intricate and epic in equal measure.
