Mystery Sonata - AEQUORA (2025) [Hi-Res]

[AEQUUS] a smooth or level surface, expanse, surface; a level stretch of ground, plain; inmensumne noctis aequor confecimus? have we made it across the vast plain of night? the surface of the sea especially as considered as calm and flat, a part of the sea;
per aperta volans aequora
soaring over open sea; the waters of a river, lake, sea;
tibi rident aequari ponti
the waters of the sea laugh up at you.

Until the present recording, Mina Gajić and Zachary Carrettin have recorded under their given names, occasionally performing live under the duo’s moniker, Mystery Sonata, especially in non-classical settings presenting a diversity of repertoire and styles. This is the first recording for which the duo has chosen to use the name Mystery Sonata, embracing the inherent mystery in presenting contemporary music and new arrangements/instrumentations for the first time.
