Description: Originally commissioned by Janis Brenner and Dancers, "Once You Are Not A Stranger" is the feature title of a 40-minute collaborative media work that looks at the idea of empathy and "otherness" in a multicultural, multi-ethnic, and multi-religious world. ETHEL string quartet premiered the piece as part of Composers Concordance's Roundtable concert at (le) Poisson Rouge on January 26th, 2017. They are featured in this recording along with Patrick Derivaz on bass guitar and myself on synthesizers. The piece was released on EXTENSION (Navona Recordings). Mastering by Bob Ludwig.
