Debut Album: Plastic Facts
After nine years of diligent rule-breaking, NTQ is beyond excited to share our debut album with the world!
Plastic Facts is a showcase of commissioned works and pieces that we hold dear to our heart as an ensemble. Our debut album covers extensive ground, from the swelling harmonies and sweeping canons of Richard Carrick’s Harmonixity, to the searing high notes of Michael Djupstrom’s Test. Marcelo Lazcano’s Ser finds the whisper range of the saxophone while Anthony Gatto’s Plastic Facts, the title track, explores a textural cityscape built on multiphonics.
