––––––––

Maintenance Hums, the second album from composer Ian Power, features three intense works for solo, duo, and trio. The pieces create warm, suspensive atmospheres derived from the drones that surround us in our daily life, providing brief comfort in their insistence.

Dusted describes Ian Power as “a force guiding the rapid-fire development of instrumental syntax and its expressive components... a boundary-breaker” and the New York Times describes his music as of “resolute ooze and elemental graininess,”. His music is distinctly bare and brash, pushing every sound to the foreground, creating a space of both severity and warmth.

The album, recorded in Berlin, Treviso, and Baltimore, features performances by members of Ensemble Nikel, L’Arsenale, and the composer himself.

Ian Power is a composer from Rochester, New York, who lives in Baltimore where he directs the Integrated Arts program at the University of Baltimore.
