Recording Samples - janus
Brooklyn based janus (flute/viola/harp) was formed in 2002 with the goal of presenting and creating new repertoire for the trio through commissioning projects and works-in-process collaborations. Named after Janus, the Roman god whose double-faced image peers into the past and future, the trio maintains the established tradition for this instrumentation while breaking new ground into unexplored sonic frontiers exploring the intriguing combination of something bowed, something blown and something plucked.
janus is a newly-signed New Amsterdam Records artist and can be heard on Andrew McKenna Lee’s critically acclaimed CD “Gravity and Air.” janus’ much anticipated debut CD is forthcoming in Spring 2010 and this program will feature works from the album.
