David Darling - Cello Blue

  CELLO BLUE

David Darling
Hearts of Space
2001

By itself, the cello is a very melancholy and emotion-stirring instrument. On this album, a follow-up to his previous Eight String Religion, David has incorporated several cellos electronically to create a very moving selection of somber melodies.

A sprinkling of keyboards and piano combined with nature sounds complements his string technique, and the title song in particular is quite alluring with its repeated refrain.
