Our Take

If music were a delicate dance between two unlikely partners, then Bill Mackay and Katinka Kleijn’s collaboration on "Stir" would be a stunning tango across genres and emotions. Mackay, known for his adventurous guitar work, and Kleijn, a celebrated cellist, come together in a whirlwind of sound that is both unpredictable and mesmerizing.

From the opening track, "Waltz for Sandy," the listener is swept up into a world where boundaries are blurred and rules are meant to be broken. Mackay’s intricate guitar melodies play off Kleijn’s rich, resonant cello lines, creating a lush tapestry of sound that is at once comforting and challenging.

Tracks like "The Next Time" and "Tamarack" showcase the duo’s ability to seamlessly blend elements of folk, jazz, and classical music into a cohesive whole. Mackay’s inventive playing style is matched only by Kleijn’s virtuosic cello work, creating a musical dialogue that is both playful and profound.

But it is on the final track, "Water Music," that Mackay and Kleijn truly shine. As the haunting strains of the cello fade into silence, one is left with the sense that they have just witnessed something truly special. "Stir" is a triumph of collaboration, showcasing the immense talent and chemistry between these two gifted musicians. In a world filled with noise and distraction, Mackay and Kleijn remind us of the transformative power of music.
