Midori Hirano and Brueder Selke’s debut album, Split Scale, unites two artists who share both inimitable skill and depth of expression. Pillars of Berlin’s new music community and globally lauded composers, they each share a background in classical tradition while practicing on the cutting edge of modern music. ‘Split Scale’ is an elegant emotive ambient album built primarily from pianos and cello and electronics. After tracks on Longform Editions and the creation and curation of the Q3Ambientfest, this power pairing should be an immediate hit with fans of quality ambient or minimal modern music.
