Ant Law & Brigitte Beraha

About

Ensconced is an exciting new collaboration

between Milan-born British/Turkish vocalist and

lyricist Brigitte Beraha and leading UK

guitarist/composer Ant Law.

The six originals on the album are bookended by re-imaginings of two timeless standards – ‘A Kiss To Build A

Dream On’ (made famous by Louis Armstrong) and Bernstein’s ‘Some Other Time’ - in which the duo simply

and beautifully conjure up a spellbinding, intimate ‘campfire’ feeling.

Inspired by Ant’s compositions, Brigitte exhibits rich lyrical storytelling, from wistful memories of growing up in

the south of France in ‘Who We Are’ to the more obscure tale of a gifted horse in ‘Clever Hans’. Her deeply

expressive vocals, alongside Ant’s inventive and melodic acoustic guitar artistry, are the elements at the very

heart of this music.

Ant Law: “It’s incredibly rare for me to play the acoustic steel-strung guitar, but that instrument is at the

centre of this album, alongside Brigitte’s voice. It’s also unusual for me to collaborate with vocalists/lyricists

and I am amazed at the depth and colour Brigitte’s poetry has brought to this music.”

The album’s journey explores the contrast between the spaciousness and purity of the duo tracks and the

addition of richer instrumentation, taking in more expansive textures with guest contributions.
