Our Releases
Sweet Land
Digital Download
By Raven Chacon, Du Yun, Aja Couchois Duncan, and Douglas Kearney
Sweet Land was recorded live on set at the Los Angeles State Historic Park on March 15, 2020, the evening Los Angeles County issued the first lockdown orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to the incredible work of our ensemble, creative, and production teams, we captured one final impassioned performance to preserve what the Los Angeles Times called "opera as astonishment." Over the next year, we collected additional studio recordings to complete the album.
We have created two listening experiences: Standard Edition and an exclusive Bandcamp Deluxe Edition. The Deluxe Edition features a bonus track and a robust booklet illustrated with images from the live performance. The booklet includes an essay by Gundula Kreuzer, and a conversation with the composers (Raven Chacon & Du Yun), and the conductors (Marc Lowenstein & Jenny Wong).

Young Caesar, Lou Harrison’s sublime and sinuous depiction of Caesar’s love for another man, was performed and recorded live with the Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group at Walt Disney Concert Hall on June 13, 2017. The Industry’s new performance edition fuses Harrison’s original gamelan-inspired orchestration with his later lush orchestral writing.
