Reflections on the Visible Light Album Release

This past weekend, we celebrated the release of Visible Light with a small and meaningful gathering. I just want to say thank you to everyone who came out to share the evening.

A special thanks to MirrorLab for hosting us. The space is such an essential part of the creative community, offering room for experimental and independent work to take shape. Their commitment to supporting artists and bringing people together is rare and deeply appreciated.

Gratitude for the Artists

I’m deeply grateful to Jon MuellerMichael Gallope, and Mary Hanson Scott for their inspiring performances. Each artist brought something distinct and powerful to the night.

Michael Gallope, known for his work with the post-rock and drone-pop band IE, performed alongside Mary Hanson Scott, whose new collaborative LP with Ruth Mascelli (Esoteric Lounge Music Now) has been on my mind lately. Their set began after a brief delay involving a rumored “forgotten synthesizer,” but what followed was stunning — organ, synth, and saxophone blending in fragile balance. Sparse and stunning.

Performing as Visible Light

When it came time for Visible Light to play, it went by in a bit of blur.
We performed two pieces from the new album, Losing Leaves and Boreal Shift, for about 18 minutes. The audience’s focus and warmth made the experience feel intimate and alive, and I cam away from the performance feeling like I’d shared a secret story with everyone there.

Closing with Jon Mueller

To end the night, Jon Mueller performed his touring project All Colors Present. If you’ve seen Jon before, you know how immersive his work can be. The room went dark, all but the slowly shifting projections, featuring the black and white photography of artist Tom Lecky. The 90-minute performance pulled everyone into a deep, immersive space — an experience that was incredible and disorienting. Truly unforgettable.

Setting the Music Free

I’m so grateful for the energy in the room and for everyone who helped make the event possible.

Our new album, Songs for Eventide, is now streaming everywhere.
Thank you so much for listening, sharing, and supporting. It feels wonderful to finally set the music free.
