The stars are aligning for Pulitzer laureate, Roger Reynolds. In a singular convergence as he approaches his 90th year later in 2024, unflaggingly dedicated to his mentorship of UC San Diego students, Roger has recently been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His archive is the subject of a Library of Congress Special Collection, and his creative output has never been stronger. He is lovingly portrayed as the subject of a forthcoming documentary film by Kyle Johnson, FOR A REASON, and this Neuma double-album showcases the works featured in the film.

Congrats to percussionist and ACTOR Student member Martin Daigle on the release of his album DRUM MACHINES on April 14, 2023!

This album features extended techniques inspired by the instrumental explorations developped in Masque de Fer, an ACTOR Collaborative Student Project by Daigle (McGill University) and Gabriel Couturier (Université de Montréal).

Martin's second album is full-length, and it features innovative drumkit music. Along with the release of the stereo format version, a 3D binaural audio will be released to provide an immersive experience to the listeners. The entire performance was filmed, and the filmed performance will be released on Martin's YouTube page on the day of release.
