about

This is a Bandcamp exclusive pre-release of South African composer Andile Khumalo's "Tracing Hollow Traces," a collection of his vibrant chamber and solo works from the last fifteen years. A full physical and digital release will follow in Spring 2024 with liner notes by South African musicologist Martin Scherzinger. This pre-release is timed to coincide with a portrait concert of Khumalo's work by Ensemble Dal Niente at the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C. on November 12, 2023.

Khumalo's music fuses influences from spectralism to the music of his home country to jazz, integrating literary sources and engaging with issues of concern in contemporary society. The dynamic results are heard here in energetic and committed performances by Ensemble Dal Niente, Argento Ensemble, Wet Ink Ensemble, and selected soloists and chamber musicians.
