Laura Cetilia

Laura Cetilia's work evokes a sense of crossing a threshold between traditional classical music and experimental soundscapes. Within an acoustic resonance that respects the natural reverberations of each space, rippling waves of subtle disturbances create a mixed sensation of classical roots and a refreshing encounter with the unknown. This offers a glimpse into Cetilia's vast and profound world.

'ephemeral bloom' is an album of four new pieces composed by by US-based composer and cellist Laura Cetilia, who won the ARTZenter's Emerging Composer Completion Grant in September 2024. This is her second album as a composer on elsewhere music, following her 2025 release, 'gorgeous nothings' (elsewhere 035). 'ephemeral bloom' contains Cetilia's solo piano piece 'laminae' (2025), performed by Jack Yarbrough, and her three pieces for cello and piano: 'becoming of shadows' (2026), ' through thick and cunning weed' (2026), and 'ramonda' (2026), performed by Hannah Soren and Jack Yarbrough.
