Following her previous solo works Solas (2016), Fairge (2017) and Trian (2019) Saor [pronounced Sieur: meaning "free" in Scottish Gaelic] is the first release in a triptych of albums, inspired by escapes to the peaks of Claire M Singer's homeland of Scotland. Saor perfectly encapsulates Claire's experimental approach to the pipe organ, exploring rich harmonic textures and complex overtones creating ever-shifting melodic and rhythmic patterns, which conjure visions of the Scottish dramatic landscapes she is inspired by.
"Saor follows two narratives: my trekking across the Cairngorm mountains in Aberdeenshire through the granite plateaux, corries, glens and straths, and my exploration of the 1872 Conacher organ in Forgue Kirk Aberdeenshire where many of my ancestors lie". - Claire M Singer
