Balmorhea’s Deutsche Grammophon debut album, The Wind, moved reviewers and listeners alike with its contemplative blend of ambient and electronic sounds. The Wind – Deluxe, set for digital release on 22 July 2022, offers the chance to discover four previously unreleased tracks from the Texas-based duo’s original sessions. It also includes remixes byCanadian avant-garde composer and multi-instrumentalist Joseph Shabason and the London-based Portico Quartet, together with Christian Badzura’s elegiac rework of “Nos”.

To coincide with the release of The Wind – Deluxe, Deutsche Grammophon will be screening Balmorhea: The Wind – Live in Marfa on DG Stage on the same day, 22 July, at 6pm PST. For this film, made in the desert town of Marfa, Texas, Balmorhea’s Rob Lowe and Michael A. Muller were joined by Aisha Burns (violin/vocals), Clarice Jensen (cello) and Rob Mazurek (piccolo trumpet). Over the course of a day, they performed the album in the vast and atmospheric surroundings of the Arena, one of the large-scale installations in the permanent collection of the Chinati Foundation, a contemporary art museum founded by US artist Donald Judd. The building itself becomes a voice in Balmorhea’s music, as its roof expands and contracts according to changes in temperature and wind patterns, creating varying degrees and types of noise.

  • Balmorhea - The Wind makes Andrew Dansby's rock and jazz albums of 2021 / Houston Chronicle
    Posted At: December 30, 2021 12:00 AM
    Houston Chronicle's Andrew Dansby writes….Live music began to trickle back in 2021. And recorded music kept doing what it was doing prior to the pandemic, but with a slightly different vibe. Maybe it was me, maybe it was the artists, but the music that connected with me over the past year was largely music created by people focused on the notion of environment — whether that environment be a setting for a s...

  • With 'The Wind,' Balmorhea captures that essence, renewing valleys with music that thrives in its delicate and patient nature / TREBLE
    Posted At: April 12, 2021 12:00 AM

    TREBLE's WILLIAM LEWIS writes.....Saint Caesarius was a sixth century Archbishop of the French city of Arles. Though not a man of great fame, his common touch made him beloved by the people of the region and he garnered an almost mythic reputation as a man of miracles. In one tale, a valley in the region is in the grips of terrible drought, its people hungry and the land parched and fruitless. Caesar...
