about

'As in the Sun, so in the Rain' is the debut studio album of the Johannesburg-based trio 'The Texture of Silence'. The ensemble features Mzwandile Buthelezi as visual artist, Keenan Ahrends on guitar and Cara Stacey on piano, musical bows, umtshingo flute and various lamellophones.

"A wonderful sense of shared and shifting leadership characterised the sounds, as Stacey moved from the metal keys of the nyunga-nyunga (thumb piano) to the ivories of the piano, to umtshingo pipe, to umrhube bow, and Ahrends from weaving textures to crafting interlocked pulses and drawing out melodies." - Gwen Ansell
