Transmutations (2025)

With influences ranging from the pioneering sound design experiments of Suzanne Ciani to the futuristic minimalism of SOPHIE, Jessica Shand’s debut release leverages flutes as a laboratory for sound, unraveling one-second-or-less samples of flute sound into vast perceptual landscapes across 12 vignettes. Available in full on Bandcamp and Soundcloud; EP available on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming services.

Written and recorded at greyfade studio with producer and engineer Joseph Branciforte.
