United Sound Composer Project
Recording Partners Work Samples
Although all of these ensembles can (and do) record professionally under perfect circumstances, the Composer Project is about creating “working recordings” for composers. Where possible, we have asked our partners to share single microphone, live recordings/videos to be more authentic to our actual request and this project.
