Elegant Calamity by Oscar Lavën
Elegant Calamity pursues a sound that allows
the personalities of a delightfully eclectic mix of musicians to shine
through. These players represent different corners of
the vibrant New Zealand art music scene and I hope listeners
around the globe will be able to appreciate this through this
album.
