STRANGE MOON is out today!

After four years, I’m excited to finally release Strange Moon! We recorded back in August 2019 with every intention of releasing in 2020, and then the world had other plans for us. At long last I’m happy to finally be able to share this music.

Strange Moon is a musical prayer to the moon goddess from Japanese folklore, inspired by the sight of the moon blocked out by the haze of wildfires.

Drawing on their shared influences rooted in jazz, electronic, and experimental new music, Ends Meat Catastrophe Jazz Ensemble composes and improvises new works centered on ritual, deep listening, and liberation.
