For Translucence by Whitney Johnson & Lia Kohl

The debut album from Whitney Johnson & Lia Kohl has evolved over several years from their initial practice of free improvisation on viola and cello into (for the moment), this: a neophonic orchestral expression. At once stimulating and soothing, For Translucence is a living, breathing meditation in which layers of acoustic strings, synthesizers, field recordings, radio and sine waves illuminate each other as they twine and grow.

Lia Kohl is a cellist, composer, and sound artist based in Chicago.

Her work centers curiosity and patience, an exploration of the mundane and profound possibilities of sound.
