Classical Guitar Duo Cochran & McAllister went big for their new album Pale Blue Dot. The guitar virtuosos drew inspiration from space, from time, and from the writings of beloved astronomer Carl Sagan.
American composer-guitarist Matthew Cochran turned that inspiration into a large-scale suite for two guitars, appropriately titled Pale Blue Dot. Cochran also contributed a series of ambitious and highly original arrangements by legendary jazz composers Chick Corea, Pat Metheny and Ralph Towner. The project concludes with the duo’s stunning performance of a suite from Hans Zimmer’s ephemeral score from the Christopher Nolan epic, Interstellar.
