I’m excited to announce the release of my first new album in three years, Fifteen Fires in the Filament Eve. It features over 60 minutes of music from the past ten years of my career, including my most recent piece for the Cincinnati Ballet, the 14-minute Where the Incline Alights the Hill. All of the tracks on Fifteen Fires in the Filament Eve are either brand new or have never been officially released, and they include some of my very earliest recordings.

You can purchase Fifteen Fires as either a download, or as a limited-edition CD for just a few dollars more.

Each CD will come in a durable eco-friendly cardboard case with full-color artwork, and will be hand-numbered from a supply of 100. Once these are gone, they’re gone! When you purchase the CD, you also get instant access to the music download.

Listen to samples and get your copy at Bandcamp.

You can watch the final product here. I think it’s the strongest of our three big collaborations. The visual language Heather created on such a short timeframe is staggering – I’ve watched it close to a dozen times, and each new viewing brings to light a deeper level that I missed previously.

I tried to challenge myself to not fall back into the comfort zones I’m used to – namely, lots of time taken up by vocal verses and choruses. For example, the long rhythmic section in the middle is something I would have never written on my own, both because percussion is not my specialty, and having long sections of music without much melodic movement makes me nervous. Looking back and hearing everything in context, I realize I could have extended it even more. But I’m still learning.
