• Sounds while waiting, by Ellen Arkbro

In 2017, she released the album for organ and brass with works for renaissance organ and brass trio. Her second album, CHORDS, was released in 2019 and focuses on slowly unfolding chordal modulations and on the sonic texturality characteristic of precision-tuned harmony. In all of her work, Arkbro focuses on the qualities of harmonic sound that reveal listening as an active process of creative participation, inviting the listener to gradually transform into the sound itself.
