From the Overture, Queen of the Spiders to the opiate-induced Barcarolle, the virtuosic Courante – Here was a swift (for Max Ernst), the clamourous Carillon de Ville (for Hector Berlioz), and the chaconne-like finale Vesper (dedicated to and based on Purcell’s An Evening Hymn), the EP showcases Shibe’s masterful interpretation of Adès’ first published work, asides his keyboard works, for a solo instrument.

This EP offers a first glimpse of the full album Vesper, set for release in April 2026.

At PENTATONE, every album cover begins with a story. Artist shares the inspiration behind his breathtaking artwork on his forthcoming album ‘MADLANDS’:

“This [Red Crescendo] is one of my series of mixed media works that feature mirror-finish stainless steel in geometric shapes and nearly perfect matte oil paintings. In these works, I’m seeking to blur the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, reimagining our conventional perceptions of sensibility and spatial dimensions, which is what music is about for me” Yang Bao

Above all, getting to share our passion together, whether it be on stage, during practice, or in a recording booth, has always been about the fun and liberation felt exclusively when making music with whom we trust most in life and in music” Hina & Fiona
