Chamber Soul-Pop by yMusic and Emily King, In-Studio

Soundcheck | Sep 26, 2019

New York’s top-notch and prolific classical six-piece group yMusic "serves as a ready-made collaborative unit for bands and songwriters, and has lent its distinctive sound to dozens of albums, most recently In The Blue Light by Paul Simon" (yMusic's Bandcamp.) They've played with the likes of Simon, Bruce Hornsby, Regina Spektor, Ben Folds, and English indie folk trio The Staves. Their most recent recording is of music by Marcos Balter, "...which enables us to fly", a multimedia work, in collaboration with choreographers Bill T. Jones (who came out of retirement to dance for the first time in public in 9 years) and Dianne McIntyre.

For this in-studio session, yMusic teams up with the sophisticated pop-soul songwriter Emily King for brand-new orchestral pop-soul music, sure to be one-of-a-kind. - Caryn Havlik
