Format: CD Condition: New Released: 2021 Country: Germany Packaging: Cardboard Gatefold 3 Panels Recorded in NYC, and Marblehead, Massachusetts, in 2020 and 2021.
""Glissando I" And "Glissando II" are two realizations of the same score. "Glissando I" was performed on a street corner in Ridgewood, New York, in june 2020. "Glissando II" was performed in Washington Square Park in November 2020.
In July 2020 i recorded "Quintet I" in Marblehead, Massachusetts. "Quintet II" shares this piece's fingerwork, but calls for different breathwork. It was realized with Ella Heron, Sophia O'brien-Udry, Story Ponvert, and Matthew Tuggle in February 2021, near the same corner in Ridgewood where i recorded "Glissando I." This joyful, friendly occasion was the keystone of the record sliding quietly into place."-Eli Neuman-Hammond
