14 Postcards, First Movement Composed by Allison Cameron. Performed by members of Thin Edge New Music Collective: Xavier Brossard-Ménard (B-flat and bass clarinets), Dobrochna Zubek (cello), Ilana Waniuk (violin), and Cheryl Duvall (piano). 4 Postcards is a mobile composition for its performers. They can arrange where the movements go in their concert program—preferably in between other works, but it’s up to the players to decide where and how they are presented. The score has a theatrical option: this recording captures a live performance of all four movements, in which Thin Edge New Music Collective members Stacie Dunlop (vocalist) and Nathan Petitpas (percussionist) participated as silent “readers” in the dramatic postlude, and so are not heard. —Allison Cameron Recorded October 25, 2013, at Gallery 345 in Toronto, as part of a concert entitled 6 Degrees of Separation, featuring various works performed by Thin Edge New Music Collective. 4 Postcards was commissioned by The Music Gallery through the Ontario Arts Council for the 2006 X Avant Festival in Toronto, where it received its world premiere performance by Ensemble QAT. © Allison Cameron (SOCAN) 2:06

It was written for Eric Wubbels of Wet Ink Ensemble, and had its world premiere performance on September 23, 2009, as part of a portrait concert given by Wet Ink in New York. I see Cecil Taylor as one of my first music teachers.

10Battle of Vicksburg Audio available on CD only Composed and arranged by Dave Burrell. Performed by Dave Burrell (piano) and Steve Swell (trombone). Battle of Vicksburg is the final piece of Turning Point, the third part of American Civil War: 1861–1865, which is a series of original compositions by Dave Burrell commemorating the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. The series was commissioned by the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia, where Burrell—its composer-in-residence since 2007—has been conducting research, along with his wife and librettist Monika Larsson, into the stories of ordinary servicemen and civilians to create a unique body of lyric and instrumental music. Battle of Vicksburg was released on the CD Turning Point (NoBusiness Records, <http://nobusinessrecords.com>) in 2014. © Dave Burrell 8:31
11Unseen Songlines Audio available on CD only Composed and performed by Nimalan Yoganathan (Yamaha PSS-380 synthesizer, bells, mbira, field recordings made in Amazon rainforest around Mamori Lake, hydrophone underwater recordings of dolphins and fish in Amazon River tributaries). Unseen Songlines immerses the listener in the soundscapes of Mamori Lake, a remote village inside the Brazilian Amazon. This piece explores the ambiguous perception of sounds emanating from the jungle and deep beneath the Amazon River, where we hear the sounds but cannot see their sources: a blindfold acousmatic concert performed by the rainforest itself. Field recordings subtly weave through electroacoustic textures and gestures so as to accentuate the grey area between natural and synthetic sounds. The listener is invited to hone in on the musical subtleties of the rainforest without being distracted by its visual beauty. —Nimalan Yoganathan © Nimalan Yoganathan 8:42
12Heliotrope Audio available on CD only Composed by Sarah Davachi. Performed by Kyle Bruckmann (oboe), Diane Grubbe (flute), Clio Tilton (viola), and Shanna Sordahl (cello).

13Stircrazer | Hammer + Flutter Audio available on CD only Composed by Sabrina Schroeder. Performed by Vertixe Sonora Ensemble: Pablo Coello (saxophone), Angélica Vázquez (harp), David Durán (piano), and Ramón Souto (percussion). Instruments are augmented with tranducers and homemade mechanics. Working out of a three-part series for solo performers and live mechanics, this longer-form work in progress combines those forces in a play with fibrillation and surface tensions, fragility and blunt mechanisms. —Sabrina Schroeder Recorded November 18, 2014, at the Correspondencias Sonoras Festival at Galician Center for Contemporary Art, Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
