Every settlement starts somewhere.
Usually with a fire and a few hopeful plans.

The First Hearth captures the quiet beginnings of a medieval settlement, before the roads, markets and grand buildings arrive. Gentle folk melodies, warm acoustic instruments and an unhurried pace evoke the first homes taking shape, the surrounding countryside and the promise of a village yet to grow. Inspired by the world of Foundation, it’s music for building something from nothing, or simply enjoying the peace before the work begins.
