New Projects and Releases

Modney/Laubrock/Roberts/Smythe Quartet, premiere performance for Tues@7 (International Contemporary Ensemble)

I’m excited to announce the debut of a cycle of music for quartet, which I wrote for Ingrid Laubrock (saxophones), Mariel Roberts (cello), Cory Smythe (piano), and myself. We premiered half of the music on the International Contemporary Ensemble’s Tues@7 series (please watch above!), and recorded a studio album which will be released on Carrier Records in August 2022. Please check back soon for album release details.
