A New Sea

Yuki Numata Resnick, violin Kate Ellis, cello Formed from intricately interlocking melodies that are constantly subject to subtle variations, "A new sea" is a new composition for violin and cello by Benedict Schlepper-Connolly. The music is ever-flowing, and yet as if frozen or suspended in mid-air. Written for and recorded by the transatlantic pairing of violinist Yuki Numata Resnick (who performs regularly with bands Beirut and The National) and Kate Ellis (Artistic Director of Crash Ensemble), A new sea takes two threads of striking individual colour and weaves them to form a delicately beautiful fabric.
