Julia Kent - Echo of Wings by 7KMusic

Canadian-born, New York City–based cellist and composer Julia Kent makes music using layered and processed cello, electronics, and found sounds, creating haunting and evocative soundscapes that range from hushed intimacy to cinematic expansiveness. She has released five solo records, the most recent being Temporal on UK label Leaf, and has toured throughout North America and Europe, including appearances at Primavera Sound, Mutek, Meltdown, and Unsound.

‘I wanted to create something that grew from minimalism into a larger sonic architecture, thinking about the concept of the 'butterfly effect': that the fluttering of a butterfly’s wings can set off larger global consequences. The idea is of course more poetic than scientific, but it speaks to our interconnectedness on our planet, and to our shared fragility. ‘ - Julia Kent
