Weāve got LOTS of new music coming together in the next few weeks.
Hereās a little sneak peek š at a new piece by the incredible @jlin_p
This is a rework of a portion of Bachās Mass in B Minor. Loving how J makes keeps the sound of Bach in the piece but truly makes it her own, just like all great remixes.
Lots of fun multi-tasking for all of us in this piece š
We were workshopping the piece at @denisonu where we are one of the ensembles-in-residence. Had an AMAZING session with Jlin and students in Ron Abramās Etching class šØ
