abstract:Balmorhea (pronounced Bal-more-ay) is a minimalist instrumental ensemble Featured Artist: Balmorhea from Austin, Texas, that was formed in 2006 by Rob Lowe and Michael Muller. Balmorhea were influenced by Ludovico Einaudi, The Six Parts Seven, Claude Debussy, Ludwig van Beethoven, Rachel's, Gillian Welch, Max Richter, Arvo Pärt and John Cage.
From this natural narrative flow, Balmorhea proves that a cello and a banjo are just as capable of expressing ideas and emotions as a group of words on a page.
Building upon both classical and post rock influences, Balmorhea's third album, All is Wild, All is Silent, shines with the addition of an upright bass and drums to accompany its emotive instrumental pieces.
