Duos with Piano: Book I marks the debut release from composer/performer Eric Wubbels, Co-Director and pianist of the essential New York collective Wet Ink Ensemble. 

Wubbels's "Duos with Piano" project encompasses eight works for eight different instruments paired with piano, written over a ten-year period for a network of close collaborators. These pieces aim to develop a 21st-century conception of ensemble virtuosity (now a virtuosity of listening, concentration, timbral fusion, and collaborative decision-making as much as of technique) in the microcosm of the duo format.

Shiverer [2007], for flute and piano
with Erin Lesser

"the children of fire come looking for fire" [2012], for violin and piano

I watched her smile her hand

Recorded LIVE at Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival 2017

NYC-based Sam Pluta is perhaps best known for his use of electronics in his instrumental music, but for his commission for us, “binary/momentary logics: flow state/joy state,” the composer goes acoustic while preserving elements of technologically-modified sounds. A perfect send-off for the close of the season, Pluta refers to this super-charged work as “pretty much full-on the whole time,” and you all are in for one wild romp.
