On June 19th, international festival circuit staples Desert Dwellers release the much-anticipated second installment in the acclaimed Night Visions series. Following up the initial collection of re-workings of a wide-array of globetrotting acts, the downtemple and global bass duo of Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe is back with 13 more remixes.

Featuring a stellar cast of performers, and curated by pianist Dylan Perez, this complete anthology of Samuel Barber’s songs present those works published during his lifetime, together with those published posthumously, some of which are recorded here for the first time. Barber was clear as to what he wanted from very early in his life, and this strength of character and courage to follow his path is heard throughout Barber’s significant contribution to the genre. At a time when American classical music was heavily influenced by experimentalism, Barber’s inclination for "traditional" harmony and melody helped set him apart. Barber’s vocal music demonstrates the ease he finds in the marriage of text and music.
