Captivating flute duo fuses music and art with second album
Monday, August 19, 2013 – Los Angeles –
Following the success of their debut album “Frequency”, pop-infused flute duo In Sterio is set to release their much anticipated sophomore effort entitled “Awake”. The new project is a CD/DVD combo that brings abstract art to life through music and video animations. It is scheduled to be released on August 22nd.
The album, composed by In Sterio member Erica Peel, features completely original material inspired by the works of abstract artist, Jerry Peel. From the Cameroon-inspired title track, “Awake”, to the new age-hard rock-impressionistic sounds of “Purple Tide At Dawn”, the album seamlessly navigates through rock, latin, funk, jazz, trance, world and classical styles to create a fresh and moving soundscape. It also gives rise to completely new genres, like the light-astral-funk sounds of “Blue Crinkled Moon” and the industrial-dubstep-disco sounds of “Synchroneity”. The album is a journey through which the listeners will find themselves forgetting that it’s two flute players who are rocking their world!
The included DVD highlights the art from which the album was inspired, and brings the music to another level with stunning video animations by Drew Morton. This high-energy, outside the box, modern and innovative duo presents a project that is the first of its kind.
Both classically trained musicians, Erica Peel and Shivhan Dohse are acclaimed flutists with authentic talents and abilities reflective in the captivating sounds they create. In Sterio is actively touring and have been repeat guest performers at the National Flute Association Convention, Florida Music Educators Association and at Universities across the country. Upcoming performances include residencies at Iowa State University, the Raleigh Area Flute Association and the Katy Jazz Festival in Texas.
“Awake” will be available on iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon and Spotify in addition to select specialty stores throughout the US. Pre-orders are also available at: www.trycelery.com/shop/insterio.
