Featuring an expanded version of their long-form composition Terrain re-arranged for the Portico Quartet Ensemble recorded live in Studio One. Terrain (Extended) features an expanded version of the composition re-arranged for the Portico Quartet Ensemble – a subtle re-configuration of the band that features a string quartet - and which allowed for the composition's deeper textures and resonances to be fully explored, along the way expanding the dialogue between tranquility and a subtly unsettling melancholy, that makes Terrain such a beautiful, powerful piece.
