Brian Oberlin & Gideon Freudmann - New Album
I am happy to announce that Gideon Freudmann and I are releasing our long-awaited duo album. We have been talking about recording an album for many years and it is finally here!!! Gideon is Portland's masterful and inventive cello player. His music is known around the US as CelloBop and has been featured on NPR, Weeds, TED, and many other formats.
The new album, Magnetic West, is an homage to both of us travelling from the East Coast and Mid-West to make our home in Portland. It features 2 brand new songs that I wrote, a handful of new songs from Gideon and a couple of covers. The instrumentation is mostly cello and mandolin, but we experimented with many other instruments including, tenor banjo, lap steel guitar, distorted electric mandolin, glockenspiel, percussion, and random sound effects, and vocals. The album is really fun and original.
We are releasing the album at one of my favorite venues in the area, the Old Liberty Theater in Ridgefield, WA. Ridgefield is only 16 miles north of Portland off of I-5 and well worth the trip. I hope you can make the show!!!
