Across the album’s ten tracks, the duo incorporate musique concrète, sound poetry, modular synths, acoustic instrumentation, and vocal improvisation.

Aiming to investigate the relationship between improvisers, Murmurations explores elements of identity, temporality, and place.

It follows Lea Bertucci’s last album A Visible Length of Light, also on Cibachrome Editions.
