The Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and improviser describes the collection as \"a love letter to the moments we spend in-between\"-a letter realized via an intentional return to piano, her first instrument and the origin of her creative expression. Here Stewart creates a striking and cinematic work through collages of prepared piano, field recordings, and string quartet compositions, one that gives shape to a transient universe all it's own while tracing the line of her musical past, full circle.     Long-heralded in musician circles for her versatility, Stewart stands as a distinguished, go-to collaborator across genre and style, with a collaborative CV that reads like a dream year-end list-performing strings for Makaya McCraven or Japanese Breakfast; singing harmonies with Tweedy; arranging for Alabaster DePlume, Resavoir, Mannequin Pussy, or SZA; co-leading the jagged art-rock experimentation of Finom, her duo with songwriter Sima Cunningham. This varied-yet-distinct sound has led to a name recognition that goes beyond the devoted liner note enthusiast.     When the Distance is Blue finds her gathering those threads and focusing those sensibilities into a contemplative 8-piece song cycle with help from noted collaborators Lia Kohl, Whitney Johnson (Matchesse), and Zach Moore. The result is an album with a musical lexicon which lands somewhere between Alvin Curran's Songs and Views from the Magnetic Garden and Claire Rousay's A Softer Focus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STEWART,MACIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48241463034101,"sku":"634457198289","price":24.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/0634457198289.jpg?v=1780880909","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/634457198289","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
