After a successful workshop in London, Cameron visited the Laidlaw Centre in St. Andrews to work with Beth Taylor and Hamish Brown record a new song cycle entitled, The Breakers, for Linn Records.

Their debut CD, The Deeps Have Music, is scheduled to be released in March 2026, with a tour planned to promote the piece as well - stay tuned for further updates!

Edinburgh Music Review described it as follows:

"The next two songs, the first public performance of ‘The Breakers’, by Cameron Biles-Liddell, were something of a tour de force. Written for Beth and Hamish, these contrasting songs were devised to show the variety of moods and facets of the sea, from crashing storms to motionless stillness. Photographs of the Earth from space reveal the immensity of our oceans and seas, and remind us how mankind, despite all our advances, is still in thrall to the power of the waves. The whole recital and album have been planned to represent our vulnerability and subservience to the great seas of the planet, and this world premiere is at the heart of the programme.

Mr Biles-Liddell has developed his own clear compositional voice, even at the age of 28, and these two songs showed a fine understanding of how to set poetry to music. From the dramatic depiction of a storm at sea, and the terrified reaction of the sailors experiencing it, in E H Brodie's text, to the calm reflection of the moon on still waters in William Sharp's ‘Ode to a Nightingale in April’, Mr Biles-Liddell proved adept at using Beth's extraordinary range of vocal colours to great advantage. From the depths of her glorious contralto to the thrilling, glittering heights of her sensational top notes, the composer has created a small miracle of vocal excellence which duly received an ovation from the St Andrews audience. The writing for the piano was no less admirable and Hamish Brown played with distinction and bravery."
