String Theory

2006
This newest effort from Perpetual Motion shows their growth from a folksy acoustic duo to a progressive jazz ensemble. Calling their new sound acoustic world fusion”, Perpetual Motion has created a vibrant blend of Central and South American folk, progressive jazz, blues, and rock and roll. The result is a wonderfully eclectic collection of songs, all tied together by an underlying latin groove.

Ready, Willing and Able

"Perpetual Motion conveys a sense of melodic freshness. The group's debut album, Ready, Willing, and Able shows what can be accomplished when players pursue styles outside their "best suited" field."- Linda Gruno, Westword magazine

"Be swept away to a gentler place with Perpetual Motion. The musicianship of Quick and Carleno is exemplary. This album...definitely deserves a place in your collection." -Kevin Duke, Denver Live
