Meditations & Laments is the stunning debut album by the Gaia Duo, an album rooted in both folklore and classicism that brings together music from the Baroque period to the present day, music that is both deeply thoughtful and emotionally visceral. Comprised of carefully selected pieces from the repertoire of music for 2 string instruments, the album is a journey through time that speaks of human nature, of the interplay between light and darkness and of an uninhibited, unending search for beauty.

The work ends with “Heavens”, which begins as a carefully navigated journey from one harmonic cloud to another delineated by silences. As the piece builds the duo guides the listener deftly into the uncharted territory of its extended final cadence before dreamily ascending into space.
