Sounds, Archaeologies brings together works by Isabel Mundry that understand listening as an active, participatory process. Arising from the experience of a transformed acoustic environment, the composer opens her music to a dialogue with history, material, and cultural grounding. In the title piece for basset horn, violoncello, and piano, Mundry excavates the “sediments of our musical history” – sound becomes an archaeological find linking past and present. Balancing reflection and intuition, structure and openness, this album explores the fragile equilibrium between listening, transmission, and the continual reshaping of musical experience.
