Classically trained cellist and viola da gamba player Amy Domingues and multi-instrumentalist/composer Dennis Kane have performed for years in the Washington, DC indie/experimental scene in collaborations with others. Finally working together under the name Domingues & Kane, they weave the eloquent resonances of the viola da gamba with electronic treatments, keyboard, and guitar to create a rich sonic fabric. Drawing from traditions as varied as Renaissance counterpoint, basso ostinato, and improvisation, the duo forges a new instrumental genre all its own.
On their latest release, “Rough Magick”, Domingues & Kane explore the compositional and sonic possibilities of the Viola da Gamba and Electric Guitar combination. There is more experimentation in the playing, the sound is symphonic and atmospheric; each piece has a unique resonance to share with the listener.
Far out is an excellent descriptor for GOATS latest release. While saying that, if feels personal and nostalgic at times too. Never a dull moment as they say. It’s just really cool. Take a listen to it.. Acef Stripe
Every sound here is made using Megan Mitchell's voice, even though the music often sounds more like Earth’s vibrations than a human singing. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 28, 2023
Riding the line between ambient & neoclassical, the piano-based songs on this LP open slowly, graceful melodies revealed one note at a time. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 8, 2019
Brilliant production covering an impressive range of IDM, ambient, glitch and even elements of DnB. The Butterfly Effect is especially captivating and is one of many highlights to be found on this EP. Highly recommended! Jeff Haight
