*200 copies limited edition* Sixty-one + minutes of deep and powerful drone compositions recorded live at Epsilon Spires Church performed on organ, accordion, contrabass and cello by Richter, Mike Bullock and Laura Cetilia. Rich and meditative, arcing past, present and future.

Sedimental’s first release for 2026 is a monumental document from avant-garde composer Ben Richter. It has been a pleasure to get to know Richter personally over the past five years as we live in close proximity to one another as well as explore and witness his compositional and performative prowess both in a solo setting as well as with his Ghost Ensemble. A Sedimental release was inevitable, and we can’t be more excited for it to be another document recorded at Epsilon Spires (re: Kassel Jaeger’s-ARITHW, SEDLP072, 2024) as these three pieces are attentively performed in the venue’s remarkably resonant Sanctuary space chosen specifically for its acoustics and the 1906 Estey pipe organ within.

“This music was made possible through the kind invitation of Executive Director Jamie Mohr to a winter residency at Epsilon Spires, a non-profit performance center housed in a historic former church in Brattleboro, Vermont, with the opportunity to compose a set of works for their 1906 three-manual Estey pipe organ. Due to the frigid temperatures, the organ was sounding almost 60 cents flat from A=440Hz. In combination with Laura Cetilia and Mike Bullock’s intonationally flexible A=440 low string instruments and my A=444 quarter-tone accordion, this created a unique pitch landscape and dark atmosphere from which emerged three meditations on the ripples, pulsations, and slow transformations of memory.”- Ben Richter
