Flying Cars by Gideon Freudmann

Gideon Freudmann celebrates the release of his latest CD, Flying Cars. This is his 24th album and he continues to push the boundaries of the cellos sonic possibilities, exploring new grooves, atmospheres and the melodic richness that makes cello so appealing.

Much of this album was recorded during the pandemic (while touring was on hold) allowing Freudmann time to dig deeper into his studio work . Regarding the album title and his artistic goals, Freudmann says:

"I’ve been waiting for flying cars my whole life. When I was a kid I was told they were coming. I see now that the people who said that were not in a position to make it happen - they were merely expressing a belief or a wish or perhaps only a fleeting thought. But the idea captured my imagination and stuck with me. This album and its title, Flying Cars, is a nod to holding on to memories and dreams, and acknowledging the incredible inventions come our way, from without and within, even when they take a form you hadn’t anticipated. Ideas, like dreams and technology, take on a life of their own and transport you to unexpected places. Climb into your flying car, have a listen and enjoy the trip."

Gideon Freudmann, cellist and composer, has been on the forefront of that instrument's modern creative expansion for more than 30 years. He is a founding member of multiple musical projects, including The Portland Cello, Holiday Clocks, Caravan Gogh, Trio Quartetto and others, and has composed music for film and stage.
