Field recordings meet organ and clarinet on Lea Bertucci’s new album

Channeling the American landscape into music.

NYC-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Lea Bertucci is releasing a new album, called A Visible Length of Light, via her own Cibachrome Editions imprint this April.

Exploring themes of place and the American landscape, Bertucci brings together field recordings and ambient soundscapes with bass clarinet, alto sax, manipulated tape, organ, and flute.
