Atmosphere
Album out now on Bosker Music (BM01)
Taking the traditional violin and piano pairing, Bosker boldly transports these classical staples to the 21st century through the original treatment of electric instruments and modern sound design.
The result is the sublime Atmosphere.
An album of lush and melodic music that invites you to daydream, rest, and reset.
Sophisticated and seductive, the deeper you dive into Atmosphere the harder it becomes to resist.
Bosker is the modern classical crossover project by composer Adrian Hollay.
“Beautiful” – Trevor Reekie, Worlds of Music, Radio New Zealand
“The combination of strings and the gentle sounds of the electric piano create a slightly mystical, unreal and melancholic mood that you have to experience” – New Indie Radar Music Blog
Atmosphere is now available for download on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms.

The artists featured on Atmosphere:
Australian violinist Sarah Curro is an internationally esteemed champion of new music and the inspiration for Atmosphere.
“Atmosphere…is some of the most atmospheric and … virtuosic music I've ever played” - Sarah Curro
A member of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Sarah has commissioned dozens of new compositions for her own violin concert series.
The Spur violin, played on Atmosphere by Sarah, is designed and made by master luthier Paul Davies. A prototype of a new kind of electric violin, the instrument while modern in sound, retains the beautiful tones associated with the traditional instrument.

The piano is an electric Fender Rhodes, selected for its earthy resonance and mellow sound. Synthesisers and bass clarinet are
sometimes also added to the mix and contribute to the lush sounds that are distinctively Atmosphere.
Piano and synthesisers are played by Adrian Hollay.
The track Stargazing features Auckland bass clarinet player Andrew Uren.
Atmosphere is composed, mixed and produced by Adrian Hollay.
