We are undergoing this recording project to build the narrative and image we will define and market ourselves with. We have chosen to express this through a CD and video recordings as it is accessible to diverse audiences through today’s streaming platforms regardless of the sacrificed revenue. The project will help us gain media attention to continue the momentum we have built in Australia and leverage that success to engage with presenters and managers more easily in the US.
Each piece on this CD reflects a different aspect of our relationship, history, and mission as artists. The repertoire that we will be recording includes works by major guitar composers (Tonadilla by Joaquin Rodrigo and Jongo by Paulo Bellinati), arrangements of popular works for piano (Valses Poeticos by Enrique Granados, and our own arrangement of Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy), the defining Australian work for guitar duo (Songs from the Forest by Nigel Westlake), and two new works that we have commissioned (Sidekick by Katie Jenkins – a piece written by a close friend of ours as a satire of our brotherly dynamic and musical history; Trin Warren Tam-Boore by Ken Murray – a piece that imitates the calls of Australian birds).
We aim to first release the album in Australia in July 2023, and in the US during Fall 2023. These releases will accompany and promote public performances we have organized to showcase the works in this project.
