Simon Jeffes continued to cultivate his ensemble's idiosyncratic blend of folk, classical, and minimalist traditions on 'Broadcasting From Home'. The arrangements utilize unconventional instrumentation alongside traditional strings, resulting in pieces that are deceptively simple yet rhythmically intricate. Its most famous composition, 'Music for a Found Harmonium', has since become a standard in various folk and crossover repertoires.
