Ashley Bonfante presents a series of compositions and arrangements that draw their inspiration from the works of writers such as Sylvia Plath, T.S. Eliot, and traditional Romany folk songs.
“This music has been specifically composed with these musicians in mind; reading can be a deeply personal thing and since the compositions arose somewhat organically out of this, it was very important for me to write for friends who I can trust to be honest with their performances of the material – they also happen to be fantastic musicians!”
