about

DUALITY, aka Introspections (TRACKS 1-7) and Collaborations (TRACKS 8-14), draws inspiration from the juxtaposition of various roles and identities we assume in daily life. The construction of the double album, with its changing focus from instrumental to vocal music, seeks to present two different, but hopefully compatible, musical canvases. This approach should allow for contrasting aspects of the artists’ musical personalities to be exposed, explored and enjoyed.

PRESS

"The Awakenings Ensemble’s latest double album is an absolute banger! The energy of the music hangs in the air long after the vibrations have stopped…”

Andrea Thompson | Around the Sound | March 2021

“Great production, excellent playing with a fantastic mix! Love it!”

Paul Millard | June 2021

"This two disc-album sees two suites presented with high energy instrumentals on Introspections 💿 #1 and five impressive female singers in the soul/funk idiom on Collaborations 💿 #2. This is unmistakably a drummer’s album, a chief asset being Pignéguy’s brilliance at the drum kit!”

Eric Myers | Review | The Australian | June 2021
