Editor's note

Above, Below's quiet, cello-driven world

A duo that built atmospheric albums from 2009 to 2018, rarely stepping into the spotlight.

For a good sense of their atmosphere, put on 'Beyond the Mosaic Garden' or 'Melting Amber.' That's the core of what they were doing.

They carved out a specific sound that feels both intimate and expansive, built around Nicole Johnson's cello and Matt Caughthran's voice. Songs like 'Melting Amber' and 'Beyond the Mosaic Garden' show how they used that foundation to create whole, immersive environments. They made music that felt complete on its own terms, without needing much outside validation.

They started as a duo in 2007 and released their first album, 'The Cathedral Within,' in 2009. They followed with 'Azure' in 2012 and 'Beyond the Mosaic Garden' in 2015, then quietly wrapped up with 'The Time We Lost' in 2018. They mostly avoided interviews and live shows, letting the records speak for themselves.
