South Shore

New York composer Michael Vincent Waller took it Easy on us at first, but the arrival of his debut full length recording The South Shore is a bold surprise. Between 2012 and 2014, Waller had composed enough chamber works to fill a double album. The 31 pieces, stretching over two hours, are performed by a rotating cast of ensembles including 20 - 21, Project Sis, and Red Desert. A majority of these so-called miniatures revolve around strings and piano, though there is room for flute, clarinet, and organ.
