Lakeshore Rush: Moving Parts Released on Albany Records
Moving Parts, our debut album, explores varied instrumentation within an ever-changing classical landscape, drawing from past performances of old and new classical music spiraled across seven seasons of live concerts and studio recordings.
Listen as we imitate the flurry and flutter of feathered pets with selections from Mason Bates' Life of Birds, the creaking of ropes, bites of cold, and twinkling of stars in Jonathan Hannau's Isolated Houses, and the mechanical jostle and jolt of modern flight in Villa Lobos' Jet Whistle.
Moving Parts is available today on Amazon, Apple Music, YouTube, and direct from Albany Records. Listen today!
