Description

For his follow-up to the acclaimed By A Little Light [2012], Matt Ulery, sets aside the sprawling grandeur of his large ensemble works without sacrificing the beauty inherent in his compositions, and reimagines his long-standing Loom Quintet on Wake An Echo (his second for Greenleaf Music). With Loom, Ulery expands his voice, continuing to draw on his varied experiences and influences while using well-seasoned personnel to not just perform but inhabit the music he creates.

“These specific instruments and personalities have opened up a new world of orchestration possibilities for me, and are essential to the interest and drama in this music,” Ulery notes, ”ultimately helping lead to an emotional connection between the players and the listeners.”
