Music and recording

Sadin "conceived, produced, and served as mixer for the album, arranged the music and texts of the songs by Guillaume de Machaut, as well as singing and playing clarinet and organ on some of the tracks." [1] Each of the tracks is partly improvised. [1] Two tracks are by different composers: "Brad's Interlude" by Brad Mehldau and "Evocation" by Milton Nascimento. [1]

The album was released by Deutsche Grammophon on September 1, 2009. [2]

Reception
