With Continuous Interior, Abby Fisher unveils a solo album that reimagines percussion and electronics. The album includes two immersive works that explore scale, space, and perception. The title track – the evocative Continuous Interior by New York composer Robert Honstein – draws inspiration from the modern experience of limitless, bounded spaces – shopping malls, airport terminals, vast warehouses – and translates that feeling into waves of resonant sound, where vibraphone tones sparkle above neon, quasi-techno synth textures.
The album also features Andrea Mazzariello’s powerful and moving Figure to Ground. Mazzariello’s composition explores rhythmic perception on a massive scale, unfolding a single syncopated figure until the sense of pulse dissolves, only to be gently reasserted by a late-breaking melody. It is, in the composer’s words, an invitation to find “a kind of pleasure in this liquified listening.”

“These works are deeply connected by a sense of exploration and scale,” says Fisher. “Honstein’s piece is about moving through a vast, unfolding interior. Mazzariello’s is about focusing on a single syncopated figure, unfolded on a massive scale. Both require and reward deep, patient listening. It has been a privilege to live with and interpret these pieces, and to work with Robert and Andrea.”
