green is an album of quiet music for solo piano — music in which the atmosphere is
serene, intimate, and elegant, with maximal time for reflection. These works, all by living
composers, provide opportunities to slow down in our fast-paced world and focus within
a distraction-free environment. Feel less hurried. Suspend time. Appreciate the world
from a different perspective.

Pianist Ashlee Mack has given recitals in Germany, Italy, Czechia, and across the
United States. Specializing in contemporary music, she has commissioned many new
works and given numerous world-premiere performances. In 2012, Ashlee and
Katherine Palumbo founded the Khasma Piano Duo, an ensemble dedicated to the
performance of music by living composers. Her recordings can be heard on Capstone,
Innova, Navona Records, Parallax Music Press, Perspectives of New Music/Open
Space, Sawyer Editions, and New World Records. An avid hiker and nature lover, she
has been artist-in-residence at Everglades, Grand Canyon, and Petrified Forest
National Parks, Wupatki National Monument, and Centrum in Fort Worden State Park.
Ashlee’s recording of James Romig’s Still, finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Music,
was recognized in The New Yorker (“compelling and sure-handed”) and San Francisco
Chronicle (“Mack gives the music an eloquent, gently electric charge”). Ashlee is
Director of Piano Studies at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois.
