Alastair Galbraith/Alex Neilson/Richard Youngs

 The soundtrack is an early edit (with violins) of the song Fire Lore from the album Belsayer Time by Alastair Galbraith, Alex Neilson and Richard Youngs, released by Time Lag Records.

Alastair was involved in constructing a glass 'armonica', an instrument invented in 1761 by Benjamin Franklin.  He sourced his materials locally. 　The team involved consists of Anne Ryan and Greg Kerr (glass-blowers), Tim Duval-Smith (mechanical engineer) and Alastair Galbraith (musician).
