Strings

Saturday, November 5th, 2011

The year 2011 has been a year of strings for me. It started with the Section Quartet, via Pandora, and a whole slew of others (such as the Vitamin String Quartet) on Pandora stations. More recently, I’ve been playing the Break of Reality album “Spectrum of the Sky” a lot. A blog I follow pointed me to Zoe Keating’s amazing cello layering using a loop recorder. Finally, this week I saw these guys on The Colbert Report, went and bought The Goat Rodeo Sessions, and have been playing it since.

Not just strings either. But instrumental music in general has been on the rise in my playlist. Explosions in The Sky is the first to come to mind.
