Featuring multiple Grammy Award winning soprano Estelí Gomez (of Roomful of Teeth) and musicians from New York-based piano/percussion quartet Yarn/Wire, this EP consists of two pieces that complement each other perfectly as two sides of a 10" record or a short digital album. We See the Flying Bird, for two percussionists, was written for Ian and Russell from Yarn/Wire and features resonant metal and pulsating vibrant textures. Five Songs, written for Estelí, is a series of five miniature vocalises accompanied by percussion and Fender Rhodes.
