Solo Album Release by Starkland Records

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.
