Using voices, violin, synths, flowers, bells, accordion, water, and biodata from plants, these composers weave a rich tapestry of music that mirrors the dynamic rhythms of nature itself. Negron’s The Blue Hour, with Sarah Kirkland Snider, Caroline Shaw, Rachel Grimes, A Far Cry, and Shara Nova was released on New Amsterdam Records in 2022. Darian Donovan Thomas’s A Room With Many Doors: Night was released on New Amsterdam Records in 2024.
