SoNA New Canons CD
Featuring compositions from Ray Lustig, Paul Haas and Trevor New, SoNA's debut album embodies the evolution of the musical canon, which is changing through new voices, new technologies, and new possibilities in human and artistic connection. Each piece explores connections over time, space, and/or through virtual mediums, and how those mediums can be manipulated to multiply meaning and connection.
This was an amazing and challenging project for us. Started during the ending phase of Covid, there were many pieces of this puzzle that had to be assembled for the final work. Artists performing in remote locations over the internet, diverse performances and recording sessions, to the final editing and mastering sessions - all done remotely between Maestro Haas and myself - resulted in a gorgeous, deeply moving work.
“Joe’s done the live sound for SoNA’s annual July 4 spectacular at the Walmart AMP since the beginning, and we made sure to grab him for SoNA’s first-ever album release. I can’t recommend Joe more highly - he’s forever my go-to guy.” -
Paul Haas, Composer, Conductor and Music Director, Symphony of NW Arkansas
