about

Isomers are molecules with the same numbers of atoms of each element but with distinct arrangements of the atoms in space and therefore potentially distinct chemical and physical properties. In looking beyond the typically insular body of works written for tuba-euphonium quartet, our quartet seeks to embrace the spirit of isomerism by taking music we love from further afield and arranging it for our instruments to new and surprising effect.

The title of the album, "New Folder," holds a dual meaning.

Creating a new folder on a computer is a way of organizing and unifying otherwise disparate objects. We hope that the diversity of the repertoire on this album gains coherence as a view into our musical personalities, both as individuals and as a group.

In a musical ensemble setting, a new folder on a stand, filled with a new set of sheet music, often comes with a sense of excitement about what is to come - a new concert cycle, a new project, a new ensemble, a new configuration. We hope that listening to this album provides listeners with a similar excitement from novelty and freshness.
