Album Notes & Community Reviews

Nashville-based harpist Timbre Cierpke ambitiously constructs a sweeping double album divided into two distinct halves. The 'Sun' side features incredibly lush, driving chamber-folk pop, while the 'Moon' side is a purely orchestral, choral meditation demanding immense technical proficiency. The independent release is celebrated as a stunning, overlooked masterpiece of modern progressive classical-folk crossover.
