Album Notes

"...a lot of good, lively, and interesting music."

--George Grella (The Big City)

“I’ve discovered that there are some types of sounds that are really in the ear of the composer, and then there are others that should be in the ears of the patrons. Existential Pilot belongs in the latter category.”

--Betsy Hijazi (Betsy’s View)

“[Donner’s] Sonata no. 1 for Piano…had energy to spare… His Sonata Judaica…gave clarinetist Mark Dover a chance to rock ‘n’ roll….[Zuckerman’s] music was…romantic, full of drama and sweeping gestures, conveyed quite effectively by violinist Zoë Aqua.”

--Linda Kernohan (Miss Music Nerd)

Featuring new works by composers William Zuckerman (b. 1988), Ezra Donner (b. 1986), and Jonathan Lubin (b. 1987). Recorded live in New York City and Ann Arbor, MI.
