released August 18, 2017

"With this release, Meriheini takes the violin to the full extent of its power, using it to sketch a journey that is captivating and emotional. Her ability and understanding are captured for all to hear, as are her love of the forest and all it has to offer. Who knows where her violin will take her next?" Mr Olivetti / Freq

"This is a violinist who not only has great technique but a clear idea what she wants to do with it. Her album progresses confidently from beautiful to scary and back again." Clive Bell / The Wire
