Stewart, Macie: When The Distance Is Blue (Vinyl LP)

When The Distance Is Blue is Macie Stewart’s International Anthem debut. The Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and improviser describes the collection as “a love letter to the moments we spend in-between” - a letter realized via an intentional return to piano, her first instrument and the origin of her creative expression.

Here Stewart creates a striking and cinematic work through collages of prepared piano, field recordings, and string quartet compositions, one that gives shape to a transient universe all its own while tracing the line of her musical past, full circle.
