Post Description

Acoustic, cello-rock, folk. Verrassend, dat is het zeker.

“The duo never disappoints. Everything is well-disciplined & engaging. There’s salt & there’s sugar... Entertaining?  Absolutely.” - Americana Highways

“Hello World” is unlike anything you’ve heard — but not for the reason you think. Aaron & Michael transport us out of these uncertain times and into stories of the past and future, building a dreamworld on a foundation of lush cellos and otherworldly acoustic stringed instruments.

This collection of songs reflects a changed world and a closer focus on the things that matter: Kindness. Empathy. Appreciating the simple pleasures of life. Reinventing ourselves. And preservingour stories during our short time here on earth.
And this is a storytelling album. One of Aaron & Michael’s favorite things to do is to find obscure pieces of history, almost lost, and immortalize them in song. “Dr. Joelson’s Bag” tells the story of a doctor making a house call to new immigrants during a snowstorm in the 1950’s. “Sorry, Alan” recalls the life journey of Alan Turing, father of the computer and a war hero, who was persecuted because he was gay. “Twelve Tone Girl,” explores an avante-garde, long-ago-discarded form of classical
music, to hilarious effect.

The title track uses vintage computer sounds as folk instruments to tell the story of a nascent coder designing their first computer program. “Let’s Play in the Snow” is a waltz that celebrates the joy of playing with one’s children, no matter how old you feel. And “Evening” uses a nearly century-old poem as the basis of a song that is dreamy and ambient.

This album is unabashed escapism, combined with remembering who we are and  what our values are
