Emily Duncan and Randall Woolf
Woolf at the Door
If anyone can blow a house down, it might just be flutist Emily Duncan with her debut album, Woolf at the Door, which unleashes some of the wind instrument’s fiercer acoustic potential. Featuring three works by Brooklyn composer Randall Woolf, the album boasts an all-star cast including pianist Kathleen Supové and vocalist Rinde Eckert. Together, Woolf at the Door is a sonic love letter to the strange and theatrical, each track engaging with the art of storytelling in a distinct way and expanding the darker capabilities of the flute.
Phillip Schroeder
Radiance Within
Phillip Schroeder’s latest album, Radiance Within, offers a luminous and meditative collection of seven original works for violin and piano that provide solace and clarity in an increasingly chaotic world. Rooted in a desire to create music that invites rather than demands, Schroeder’s compositions emphasize introspection, beauty, and emotional depth—qualities that feel both timely and timeless.
Shannon Wettstein
Con Grazia: A Century of Italian Piano Music
Pianist Shannon Wettstein presents Con Grazia – with grace –, a sweeping exploration of modern and contemporary Italian piano works. From the enigmatic lyricism of Giacinto Scelsi to the ghostly resonances of Giuliano Bracci, Con Grazia is a compelling portrait of Italian music’s evolution across the 20th and 21st centuries.
Thomas Ciufo
The Rising Moon
This 17th century Japanese haiku invites us to discover beauty and gratitude within the present moment of impermanence and loss. With similar intentions, sound artist and composer Thomas Ciufo takes us on a contemplative sonic exploration of the forces of loss and beauty, darkness and light. Rooted in the ethos of ambient and electroacoustic traditions, The Rising Moon unfolds gradually as a series of immersive sonic journeys— evolving slowly over time using a combination of analog, digital, acoustic, and experimental resources. The tracks lean into paradoxical questions, exploring depth, resonance, tension, and release.
