“The first time the band that became LuMiSong ever played together was during the Great Lockdown of July 2020. The others wore masks while I stood twenty feet away with the door behind me open to a Gowanus side-street. I hadn’t shared a sound or negotiated an eighth-note with anybody for months and the experience overwhelmed me with..

Scott Clark - drums, composition

“There is a Richmond sound much like there is a Chicago sound, and drummer Scott Clark has been at the center of it for the last 20 years and counting. Dawn & Dusk is his most refined and inventive to date, and this dark, slow moving (heavily influenced by Morton Feldman), drone-focused suite.

“Blood Burden is the debut album from Brooklyn-based saxophonist, composer, and bandleader Alfredo Colón.

“It is with great audacity that a composer imposes their music and will upon the free-thinking musicians of their band. What a joy for us that Nick Dunston has taken such a leap and made Atlantic Extraction a reality! His courage is well-deserved, for he roots his music profoundly in these principles..

“Bloodletting, recorded, March 22th, 2019 at Firehouse 12 in New Haven, is a performance of a long form text score I wrote around late 2018. Unlike directive text scores that indicate through order or poetry what should be played (or evoked), my score is a block of text, written to be memorized and then performed using the nonlinear randomness of memory.The purpose of this form of text-score was to mimic, through memory and temporal distance, the way the eye dances on a page, selecting what it does...

Patricia Brennan - vibraphone

“The compositions for Tomas Fujiwara - Pith were written between April 2020 and January 2022. It was a time of minimal to no performing opportunities, which was a massive lifestyle change for Fujiwara, an active drummer on the international touring scene. Because of this there was no deadline for Pith (a first for Fujiwara), and while he knew he was writing...

Dave Ballou - trumpet
Herb Robertson - trumpet
Drew Gress - bass
Tom Rainey - drums

“To those familiar with the NYC downtown music scene of the 80s and 90s, trumpeters Herb Robertson and Dave Ballou need no introduction.

“Blue Vertical is to be the final recording by the legendary bassist and composer Mario Pavone, who passed on May 15 2021. Though in the final stages of a 17-year battle with cancer, Pavone pushed throughout April 2021 to make sure this music would be a part of his recorded legacy.

“Sweet World was recorded in the summer of 2023 in Brooklyn. It features a book of songs that my trio with drummer Nathan Ellman-Bell, and cellist Christopher Hoffman performed for a year or so leading up to the recording. I wrote most of these songs with Nathan and Chris in mind. I tried to bring my whole musical self to this project. I love so many kinds of music. Improvisation is...
