about

Uncountable Spheres is a journey from our earth’s core gravitational forces and our troposphere where we live impacted by climate change, and further up into our distressed stratosphere. Our experimental cello and piano free improvisations continue to imagine a passage through the wonderful ethereal nature of the different levels of our atmosphere’s protective mesosphere and thermosphere until we reach the very edge of the exosphere where atoms and molecules escape into space and satellites orbit the earth. As we encounter the weightlessness of space we begin our search for unexplored worlds.

Here on our fragile sphere for only a tiny fraction of the immense universe, our atmospheric cello and piano free improvisations are both a sliver and an eternity of hope; radiating through a moment in time.

"The two improvisors push the limits of each other: Gilliam’s extensive range of sounds from his piano and Maria’s extended cello technique and unusual sound makers. The track Stratosphere in Distress is a solid representation of this dynamic team". - Cheryl Ockrant, TheWholenote
