Synopsis

Album Description
Shadow Economy is Blake Leyh's first solo release since 1993. The instrumental music is heavily string-based, and features violinist Andre Burke on six of the seven tracks. Acoustic instruments are mixed with electronics, improvisation is interweaved with complex composition, and traditional music from the past is re-interpreted in the context of an ultra-modern soundscape. Opening with a New-New Orleans funeral march and ending with a deconstructed Mahler adagietto, the journey in between covers hypnotic violin minimalism, lush washes of extended-technique strings, a duet for fog horn and double bass, and dense landscapes of looped electric guitar, violin, cello, and fretless bass.
