375 Pearl by Maidenhair Brightening
“375 Pearl” is the foremost audio/visual release by the group Maidenhair Brightening, a duo consisting of Ian Quate & Mark Rice. This album explores a nouvelle reality for elevator music (piped music) with a collection of songs/sounds pairing field recordings and live instruments for an urban soundtrack offering moments of semi-controlled chaos to those of calming repose.
Recorded between 2018-2022,
these works grew from field recordings
captured in Indiana, New York, Philadelphia,
Tennessee, and the island of Antigua.
