Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating firmly within New York's avant-garde downtown scene, the composer utilizes heavily prepared pianos and industrial debris as her primary instruments. Released on John Zorn's Tzadik imprint, the record embraces microtonal dissonance and aggressive, percussive textures to blur the line between classical instrumentation and harsh factory noise.
