After the Long Play festival, we return to releasing a new video every week from our Messiaen "Quartet for the End of Time" release. We're at Part 5 featuring our cellist Ashley Bathgate and pianist Karl Larson with artwork and video by Xuan. You can watch the entire piece for free on our YouTube channel! Link in bio.
A bit from this week’s session with the awesome @ashleybathgate at the awesome @greyfadestudio with @josephbranciforte (and me tuning in remotely) for our recording of Topography with @mantrapercussionnyc . Love the passion and lyricism Ashley brings to this mathy phrase.
A splendid March performance of my 9/11 memorial piece They That Mourn.
With Jessica Tong, Ashley Bathgate, and Adam Golka.
The work will be performed at Bargemusic in New York and in Poland this August.
