Cue the flickering candles and a mischievous violin trill… 🕯️🎻

Happy Halloween from all of us at Sono Luminus! Tonight we’re celebrating the beautifully eerie side of sound — the glow-in-the-dark strings, the haunted harmonies, the quiet thrill hiding between the notes.

Whether you’re carving pumpkins, whispering your secrets to the autumn wind, or simply soaking in the magic of the night, we made something for you.

We put together an All Hallows’ Eve playlist filled with spectral strings, mysterious choral echoes, and just enough shiver to make your spine listen twice.

🎧 Join us in the twilight — tap to listen to the All Hallows’ Eve playlist, if you dare.

If you feel a chill… don’t worry. That’s just the music getting comfortable. Enjoy!

"...The sonic landscape of conflict—the sudden silence after chaos, the irregular heartbeat of distant artillery, that unnatural quiet following destruction—has inevitably found its way into my musical language.

These experiences of personal loss, collective grief, and enduring hope became the foundation for the music in this album, each piece exploring different sides and shades of mourning."
- Tamar Sagiv

In the end, if the musicians have brought their hearts, souls, and years of mastery, if the recording team has entered into the space with wisdom, tools, patience and good will, if the executive producer is saying, “Sure, let’s book one more session to make this the very best it can possibly be” then the opportunity exists for the listener to hear it all — the breath, the intention, the ensemble, the soloist, the fingers on the strings, the air as it comes out of the recorder, the hands on the regulators of the uilleann pipes, the tipper as it touches the head of the bodhran, the rosin on the fiddle’s bow, and feathered end of the note on a viola da gamba. It is all there. - Carolyn Surrick
