So happy to announce that my solo album will be finally released on September 16 by Starkland Records! Huge thanks to New Music USA, Canada Council & ASU HIDA Grant, and everyone who has helped me realize this (especially emotionally). And special thanks to John Chowning for writing a heartfelt, beautiful introduction. The album includes performances by the Spektral Quartet / Clara Lyon (violin), Theo Espy (violin), Doyle Armbrust (viola) & Russell Rolen (cello) (“Minyo”), UMS’n JIP /Javier Hagen (“Reservoir”), and Cristina Valdés (“Shimmer, Tree | In Memoriam Jonathan Harvey”); mastered by Grammy-winning artist Silas Brown.
