Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Ellen Reid’s work spans opera, film scoring, avant-pop, and more. A new album, Big Majestic, collects work from Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK, a famed public art project reimagining urban parks as interactive soundscapes that not only travel through ambient, jazz, and minimalism, but has been featured in legendary places like New York’s Central Park, LA’s Griffith Park, as well as Tokyo’s Ueno Park. Let’s check out the heady sound of “Spiritual Sun,” featuring a star of the jazz scene, Shabaka Hutchings, on the shakuhachi flute.
