10th March 2020: Patrick Cornelius’ Acadia to release ‘Way of the Cairns’ ft. Kristjan Randalu, Michael Janisch and Paul Wiltgen – Autumn 2020

Whirlwind welcomes back Patrick Cornelius for his fourth Whirlwind release, Way of the Cairns with a new collective ensemble – Acadia. The album consists of a suite of compositions inspired by Acadia National Park in Maine, along with additional brand new material written by the other band members (Kristjan Randalu – piano, Michael Janisch – double bass and Paul Wiltgen – drums)

The music was worked out over the course of a week of rehearsals and gigs, including a night at The Vortex, before being laid down in one 8 hour tracking session at Red Gables Studio.
