bloodphoenix7 I fell in love with this album my first listen and have returned to it since many times. It never fails to bend my emotions with passionate enchantments. Favorite track: Serpentine.

Evok A vivid, exotic and wholly improvisational recording featuring nothing more than a duelling cellist and kamanche player. It's a gorgeous listen, but the real magic behind its free-flowing cascades of blissful tones is the natural grace with which they are sprung into existence right in front of you. Indeed, Kamancello's eponymous debut is lightning-in-a-bottle by every measure, balancing mood and intricacy on a pinhead while exploring scale and tone with curiosity and pure intentions. Favorite track: Radiance.

diskant On this album you are listening to lively changing, improvised world music (persian music) with Raphael Weinroth-Browne, cello, and Shahriyar Jamshidi, kamancheh (kamancheh is an Iranian bowed string instrument). The band name "Kamancello" means both instruments, kamancheh and cello.
My favorite tracks are 3. Radiance and 6. Ascent

about

Recorded live at Union Sound Company in Toronto, Canada | April 2016
All of the music on this album is fully improvised and unedited.

"One comes away from this debut awed by how deeply connected the musicians are, and the fact that the album was recorded live with no editing makes the accomplishment all the more impressive. If ever a set of musical performances warranted the word communion, it's this one." - Textura

"An artistic tour de force […] Kamancello sees a master artist and a rising star challenge each other to create something out of thin air with breathtaking results." - Alex Newton | Sputnikmusic

"[...] an uplifting reminder of what man and musical instrument can achieve together.” - Bluesbunny Music Reviews

"[...] One of the most joyous and incantatory things I've heard all year."
- Joe Surdna | AudioStream

"Their East-meets-West sound contrasts and complements in consistently exciting ways, with neither player overshadowing or overstepping the other; theirs is a most harmonious union [...]” - Exclaim!

"Perhaps the biggest surprise (although not to Constellation fans) is that the duo hails from Canada. As such, they represent even greater beliefs: that cultures can mingle without losing their distinct identities, and that diversity inspires richness. In the end, Kamancello is an explosion of joy. The national origin doesn’t matter; we can all hear unity in these grooves.” - A Closer Listen

"Pure magic in soundwaves.” - The ProgSpace

"The two musicians have obvious chemistry: their improvisations are nearly seamless." - Daniel Glassman | Musicworks magazine
