Three Point Circle :: Fluorescent Grey (Palace Of Lights)
Throughout Fluorescent Grey, the compositional identity is collective and porous. Leimer, Peters, and Barreca continue their project of dissolving ego in favor of ensemble synergy, crafting a shared auditory imagination where the boundaries between composer, performer, and listener collapse.
Loscil :: Lake Fire (Kranky)
Lake Fire is not only a testament to Morgan’s artistic growth but also a powerful reflection on the ongoing dialogue between destruction and creation—an urgent reminder of our interconnected existence.
