Amy Williams' work combines attributes often considered opposites: it is rigorous, yet playful; abstract yet personal; stylish but as bracingly frank as a cold shower. With her music, one encounters a radiant intelligence and clear sense of musical purpose that vaults past many of the issues customarily associated with discussion of new music. This recording presents her Cineshape series, and her First Lines duo for flute and piano. Flutist Lindsey Goodman, the JACK Quartet, percussionist Scott Christian, and Ms. Williams on piano realize the composer's cinematographic vision in this 2017 release on Albany Records.
