his album documents a singular compositional voice for whom listening is not passive reception, but a profound, corporeal experience.

Timothy McCormack presents a sequence of compositions that explore music as an embodied act of writing and listening. McCormack's meticulously notated scores unfold through the performers' physical engagement, where touch, breath, and attention become integral to form. Rather than representing external ideas, these pieces trace how sound emerges from the intimate encounter between body and inscription. Across fragile textures and moments of sudden intensity, the music invites listeners into a heightened awareness of presence, vulnerability, and transformation. This album documents a singular compositional voice for whom listening is not passive reception, but a profound, corporeal experience.
