The album 'Cutting Together-Apart' will be released in both digital and limited edition LP formats, featuring music performed by the duo lineup of Torben Snekkestad and Søren Kjærgaard.
Additionally a third album 'Another Way of the Heart' is also listed here. The release captures the Snekkestad/Kjærgaard duo in a purely acoustic setting before they ventured into the electro-acoustic domain. The album was recorded and released during the project period and has also been integrated into the project's sample libraries. As a result, we have chosen to include it as part of the list of published works within the project, albeit in a supplementary position.
