BaMM will record our second album at Tippet Rise, which is exciting in and of itself, and our tour to prepare for that record is, if anything, even more exciting. Drawing on some of the most passionate music of the 1600s, we’ll feature Arwen Myers in sacred and profane love songs, along with examples of the easily translatable but fabulously esoteric ‘bastarda’ repertoire–an instrumental style that gives players the chance to hallucinate upon those songs, transmuting them into fantastical, passionate caprices all their own.
