Bruce Hornsby and the experimental chamber ensemble, yMusic, have come together to form a new project, dubbed BrhyM. They’ll release their first album, Deep Sea Vents, on March 1st via Zappo Productions / Thirty Tigers. As a preview, the lead single,”Deep Blue,” is out today.
First meeting at the Eaux Claires Festival in 2016 — where they performed back-to-back sets — Hornsby and yMusic have been collaborating for several years now, releasing tracks and appearing live together. Deep Sea Vents, though, will be their first full-length collaborative effort, and if the single “Deep Blue” is any indication, fans can expect the album’s 10 tracks to present inventive arrangements, blending funk, folk, soul, and orchestral instrumentations.
For example, “Deep Blue” is carried by its funky bassline, but colored by melodic interjections from pianos, strings, and even an electric sitar. Speaking about the track Hornsby said: “yMusic may be the funkiest, groovingest chamber group in all the land!

Los Angeles – On June 3, 2023, Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater (Redcat), CalArts’ center for contemporary arts in downtown Los Angeles, presents Music for Transitions from New York-based composer inti figgis-vizueta.
Called “intense” with a “sense of true dramatic stakes” by The New York Times, figgis-vizueta writes magically real music through the lens of personal identities, braiding a childhood of overlapping immigrant communities and Black-founded Freedom schools—in Chocolate City—with direct Andean and Irish heritage and a deep connection to the land.
In Music for Transitions, she is joined by collaborators, including cellist/composer Andrew Yee and violist Nadia Sirota, to present a program featuring new arrangements of previous remote works, a newly co-composed piece for soloists and string quartet, and works by her contemporaries including Leilehua Lazilotti, Caroline Shaw, Nico Muhly, and Andrew Yee.

Paul Simon‘s upcoming 14th solo album, In the Blue Light, features the iconic songwriter’s deep cuts reworked, rearranged and rethought. On three of its tracks, Simon appears alongside New York chamber ensemble yMusic, a sextet notable for blurring the lines between classical-minded indie rockers and accessible bouts of 21st-century composition. Now in their 10th year, yMusic perform as both composers and accompanists, comfortable with collaborators like Sufjan Stevens, Ben Folds, St. Vincent and Dirty Projectors as well as acclaimed young composers like Timo Andres, Nico Muhly and Richard Reed Perry.
