"Fiona Flanagan's Fable" from the recording Form & formless, features Ellen Johnson (vocals) and John Stowell (guitar) in this free improvisation piece.
"Besides loving the poetry of W. B. Yeats and Irish folk melodies," Johnson states, "I believe it was an improvised tale resonating from some story that lives in my soul. In my head, I heard these beautiful flutes playing a little melody and John's guitar played the part for me of both harp and strings".
All of the aerial video was shot by Jeff Foster, along with a few shots by Johnson herself - both with Sound Visions Media, from the San Francisco East Bay. All of the footage was shot from small DJI-based quadcopter drones, either carrying a GoPro or a built-in camera to capture these wonderful moments in time along the northern part of the California coast and inland areas.
