As much as I love music, I seldom has reason to write about it, unless of course it is a piece of music that rocks into my life for some reason and becomes an intrinsic part of a moment. Balmorhea and Peter Broderick each in their own right play such pieces of music, I just can’t stop listening to it’s supple calming tones.

This is a beautiful song by Balmorhea, I’ll doubt that you’ll be able to find as chilled classical music anywhere else.

This is a duet of Peter Broderick and Balmorhea. I find this song remarkable, no matter who Broderick duet it with. I saw him play thing live in Union Chapel and this song sends tingles down my spine even now.

Live at Reed college, Portland, Or, Jan 29th, 2009. Backed by sister Heather Broderick, and Balmorhea.

Finally this is why I like Peter Broderick! The way he puts music together is simply brilliant.
