For those unaware, Glenn Dickson and Bob Familiar layer clarinet and synths to achieve a lush, orchestral sound that’s also human and intimate. The tracks, recorded live with no overdubs, become immersive soundscapes unfolding with sophisticated development and sensitivity.

Available May 30th, 2025, their brand new album All the Light of Our Sphere (via the Sounds Familiar label) brings a fresh approach with melodic improvisation, harmonic movement and compelling story arcs.

So, what happens when a cutting-edge klezmer artist and a former rock musician come together to make music? The extraordinary electro-acoustic sound showcased on All the Light of Our Sphere is the answer, my friends.

All the Light of Our Sphere layers clarinet and synths to achieve a lush, orchestral sound that’s also human and intimate. The tracks, recorded live with no overdubs, beat tracks or midi timers, become immersive soundscapes unfolding with sophisticated development and sensitivity.

1. When fortune laid the Trojans low
2. Words set free from doubt
3. Just one inch in a hundred years
4. It haunts me still
5. Sweet seed from bitter fruit
6. Pretending she was someone else
7. All the light of our sphere
8. When the mist thins
9. And even yours is mine

Seeking to capture the emotional depth and storytelling inherent in Pat Metheny’s compositions, this emotive soundscape opens on the atmospherically enriched When fortune laid the Trojans low and then brings us the expansively shimmering Words set free from doubt and the thoughtfully emboldened Just one inch in a hundred years.

Along next on this compositionally ambient, and highly impassioned album is the hauntingly ethereal It haunts me still which is itself followed by an aching yearn that lovingly threads through Sweet seed from bitter fruit, the atmospherically inspective Pretending she was someone else, the organically-hued title track All the light of our sphere, the set rounding out on the delicately confident When the mist thins, closing on the reflective And even yours is mine.
