Recordings From the Åland Islands

Released

Two friends journeyed to an archipelago in the Baltic Sea to help some other friends and ended up doing a gig in a church. That recording became a sort of foundation layer for this album, which reflects the eternal summer of the environs (complete with lots of bird sounds). There are some chattering piano passages that sound like Julius Eatsman, and organ passages that sort of flutter and soar like a by-the-book Sunday service player has been relocated to a new age ensemble, and tons of great violin work. A special one.
