Mistéir by Adam Hurst

I recorded this album alone in my studio in the mornings of the spring and summer of 2025. Decay of sound, dynamics, and the space between notes were of high importance in my process. The work challenged me to go deeper into a musical minimalism. It was a quiet, solitary practice.

Mistéir is the Irish word for mystery. The album contains nine pieces for cello and piano. I played, recorded, and produced all tracks. I also took the cover art photo.

As a working artist, it is important for me to state that there was no AI used in any step of the creation of this album.

Thank you to my wife, daughter, parents, friends and listeners. I love you all.
