The first acoustic sound on ☀️Big Majestic☀️ is an ascending viola line realized by the endlessly gifted Nadia Sirota. Nadia’s playing is featured throughout the album continually bringing a warmth and a depth to the sound world, creating a sonic embrace. Her brilliance extends far beyond her playing. She’s a curator, a thought leader, a member of @ymusicnyc, a conductor, co-founder of Eclipse Projects and a Peabody Award winning producer and broadcaster. Nadia co-produced Big Majestic, and for the past 5 years, she has been fearlessly in the weeds with me helping to define the creative center of this project. Thank you Nadia!
