about

Crane Palimpsest, a meditation on the Brooklyn Bridge, is an orchestral song cycle on texts by Hart Crane and yours truly. It was commissioned by the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and the American Composers Orchestra, with whom I gave the premiere at Zankel Hall in March of 2012. I've had the good fortune to play it a number of times since then, most recently with my dear friends and neighbors, The Knights, who are heard on this recording, under the baton of Eric Jacobsen.

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan

Compositions with somewhat cinematic feelings and good chunk of diversity between them. Bandcamp doesn't allow me set Draft of a High-Rise as my favourite, so I have to go with second best track Gremlin Monroe
