The Akropolis Reed Quintet’s 7th release, A Soulful Nexus by Derrick Skye, is an album-length transcultural work shaped by deep listening across musical traditions. Persian classical music, Balkan vocal lines, and electronic dance rhythms intersect through intricate ornamentation and microtonal color. Across five movements, a kaleidoscope of geographies and sonic languages—rhythmic, polyphonic, groove-based, and meditative—interweave to reveal a shared purpose: music that listens to the world.
