A message from Tall Firs:

"In honor of ATP’s End Of An Era festivals, Tall Firs decided to do a simple recording of the Velvet Underground tune 'All Tomorrow’s Parties'. We meant it as a tribute to our pals at ATP, and to all our fond memories of festivals past. Since we recorded it; Lou Reed sadly died. So now it’s a tribute to ATP, and Lou, and you - our fellow music fans."

Wall Sailor

The Swifter - Steel Murmuration

Compiling four pieces for four different ensembles, David Lang’s "writing on water" is a free-flowing recording that presents several unusual and rarely revealed facets of the composer who is perhaps most well-known for his monumental choral works (the Pulitzer-winning "the little match girl passion" and the more recent epic "the national anthems"), as well as his poignant song cycles ("death speaks" and "love fail"). 

From the struggle between dissonance and melody portrayed in “pierced” to the sweeping, oceanic scope of the title piece, the music defines a path that can be as serpentine as it is rigid (“forced march”) or as minimal as it is immense. Riveting performances by Alarm Will Sound, Real Quiet, Crash Ensemble, the London Sinfonietta, Synergy Vocals and more make writing on water an electrifying, free-spirited and rambunctious addition to the Cantaloupe catalog.

Black Chamber is:

      Brian McCauley – drums
      Chris Gustafson – upright bass
      David Binnig – trumpet and samples

The band filters the sounds of classic post-bop jazz through their own post-rock, post-hip-hop musical experiences, blending live improvisation with scratchy samples. With no traditional chordal instrument, the group focuses on deep rhythms, expansive melodies, and atmospheric textures, while using electronic processing to expand the harmonic possibilities of the trumpet.
