Mandolin Swarm
Chaotic patterns of beauty
Chaotic patterns of beauty
The perfect blend of mandolins, charangos and ukuleles, featuring eighteen players spaced evenly in pairs between ribbon microphones, in The Hall at AIR Studios. From a beautiful patina of plucked notes to jets of long notes created by a multitude of chaotic unmeasured tremolos, the result is truly inspiring swarms of beauty.
