The Story

From the mind of Ric Herrington, PROCESSION is a story 50 years in the making. Bringing together some of Scotland’s most talented musicians, sound designers and mixing engineers, the Audiatic Orchestra is a project as vast as nature itself.

A Dream

Music inspired
by Nature

Combining narration, music and the sounds of nature, PROCESSION is an immersive story of a young man growing in wisdom, knowledge, and life by means of a journey through the wilds.

Not only is the instrumentation inspired by nature, but sound design has been incorporated into the project. That percussion might be a woodpecker or tap dancing, you never know.

Ric's Words

“Back when I was writing this thing… I would hitchhike a lot with my guitar. I was writing songs and stuff.”
Ric Herrington's years hitchhiking the wilds of America gave birth to the Audiatic Orchestra and PROCESSION.

"I’ve lost cars, money, girlfriends… but I haven’t lost my music," Ric reminisces when talking about the project. And it's no wonder. The project has been refined for over 50 years, going through many iterations and versions. The scale of the project reflects the care and attention to detail only that length of time can give.

"If there’s no-one around to tell you what you can or cannot do, you’ll do this impossible.”
