The first single from the upcoming album by Summer Lee Carlson & Mute Speaker, Respectable People, drops tomorrow, Friday 29.  Find it at Spotify, Apple, Youtube, Amazon or your other favourite streaming platform.

Phnom Penh-based pianist and composer Metta Legita has released a video of her new composition Hampura, which you can view on YouTube.  “The title Hampura comes from the Sundanese language and carries a profound meaning of forgiveness, acceptance, and inner peace. I sought to channel these universal sentiments, which are at the heart of the piece, through the expressive medium of piano composition.”
