Dave Aftandilian
In a world of media that always seems to be screaming for our attention, I admire the quiet restraint and peaceful simplicity of Teodora Stepančić’s _Transparent Duo_. Cello also speaks to me at a deep level so this duet, this friendly yet challenging conversation, affects me deeply. The natural ambience of place and avian voices TS brings in through her field recordings root this album in a specific place at specific times. Lovely, fragile, and ephemeral, like all beautiful moments.
