Secular Music Group is a dynamic ensemble that emerged from the creative vision of composer Christian Ruggiero, renowned for his work in film and television. Collaborating with multi-instrumentalist Yannis Panos, guitarist Ted Morcaldi, reedist Greg Lapine, and percussionist Tim Walsh, the group channels influences from free jazz, library music, and American minimalism. Their debut album, "Volume 1," was recorded live to magnetic tape, capturing the raw energy and spontaneity of their sessions. Released by Love All Day, this project showcases their commitment to authentic, live-recorded music. ([loveallday.bandcamp.com](https://loveallday.bandcamp.com/album/volume-1?utm_source=openai))
