Written and recorded over a week in residency at Ardkinglas House, A Breaking Sky is a series of improvisations and meditations on original and traditional melodies. With no advance writing process, the record captures new music from the duo at its point of creation. This is the duo’s most dynamic, free and honest work to-date, providing a true insight into their unique musical connection.
