about

"This album results from four years of collaborations with TAK
ensemble. I’m honored to present these four recent works in
TAK’s first studio album. The title comes from the duo that was
performed by TAK at their first concert in New York in 2013.
Since that time TAK has championed this challenging repertoire
and realized my music in a way I couldn’t have imagined possible." - Taylor Brook

Recorded with Patrick Higgins
at Future-Past Studios in Hudson, New York
