Enchanting Forest - Sussex

Two years ago during lockdown founder Nicoleta Carpineanu started working on a project called Enchanting Forest here in Sussex with David Alexander Yeoman, who sadly passed away in 2022. It was a project inspired by the sounds of the wet woodland habitat near Ebernoe Nature reserve. 

Thanks to recent funding, FWF will be developing this project which explores the relationship between the individual, community and the forest, combining old English folklore (including storytelling, poetry and songs) with electronic music and a canvas of forest soundscapes. 

FWF will be collaborating with Sussex-based artists and communities—including young musicians, such as the Children’s Forest Choir, and local elders. As well as producing some of the songs that David/Keys composed for the project. In this way his legacy will continue. 

Proceeds from the resulting album will go to fund reforestation, rewilding and/or environmental education and arts projects in East Sussex via Forests Without Frontiers.
