New Folder

Our debut album, out now.

The title of the album, "New Folder," holds a dual meaning.

Creating a new folder on a computer is a way of organizing and unifying otherwise disparate objects. We hope that the diversity of the repertoire on this album gains coherence as a view into our musical personalities, both as individuals and as a group.

In a musical ensemble setting, a new folder on a stand, filled with a new set of sheet music, often comes with a sense of excitement about what is to come - a new concert cycle, a new project, a new ensemble, a new configuration. We hope that listening to this album provides listeners with a similar excitement from novelty and freshness.
