Room to Breathe

“Room to Breathe” is a simple, instrumental CD that has been many years in the making. We have been playing together for over a decade, writing instrumental pieces and arranging traditional tunes for receptions, weddings, private parties and gala dinners. Not feeling like trained musicians we were hesitant to release a “naked CD” of just harp and flute, but after many requests from friends and family we decided to go in to the studio once again. The tracks for this CD were mostly recorded during three or four intensive days spent in Pam Mason’s wonderful new studio. After letting them sit for a while, we came back in to listen, planning on adding some other instruments such as bass, cello, percussion, pipes or whistles. As we listened, we started to realize that there was a certain magic to the simplicity of two harps or a harp and flute together that we didn’t want to lose. The more we thought about adding instruments, the more we realized that sometimes “less is more” and our new CD was born. With a little bit of Pam’s magic getting the perfect natural sound of the harps and the flute we have largely left the tracks untouched, leaving us with a CD of quiet, thoughtful music that we think has lots of “Room to Breathe”… “Room To Breathe” was recorded in 2008 by Pam Mason at Pooka Studios. Mastered by Steve Richard at Curve Media and manufactured by MMS Atlantic. All songs were written or arranged by Ardyth Robinson and Jennifer Wyatt and have been registered with SOCAN.
