Calling Roads from Circles by Lea Gasser 5tet

There are moments between departure and reflection, between hesitant letting go and quiet longing for what is to come. “Calling Roads” captures precisely this feeling: the simultaneity of farewell and new beginnings, of heaviness and anticipation.
The music carries this tension within it – accompanied by the lyrical sound of the duduk, a warm melancholy emerges that runs through the piece like a common thread. It is a call out into the world, but also a quiet look back. “Calling Roads” is an intimate moment on the new CD: a musical letter to all the paths that call out to us and all the places and people we leave behind.
