UKIGUMO

Very excited about the Edge of Presence performance with Hiroko Komiya early next week in Warsaw, Poland, but before the event, I am happy to share our latest collaboration: UKIGUMO

This version is slightly different from the version that appeared on Framework Radio a few weeks ago.

Along the Shore

Very excited to share this new collaboration with Daniel Barbiero on the wonderful Plus Timbre label. Enjoy !

Along the shore is a collaboration between Chris H. Lynn and Daniel Barbiero. The composition was recorded during late December 2022 and February 2023.

Chris H. Lynn: Duration field recording of tidal rhythms (high) moving and shifting patches of ice along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay at dusk in late December.

Daniel Barbiero: Double bass recording of three pages of “Soundings,” a graphically notated composition for solo bass clef instrument.
