Recordings

From meditative to monumental, SHHH!! Ensemble’s recordings are invitations to listen curiously.

Starry Night

Starry Night flows through a dreamscape of beautiful and unexpected sounds. New piano and percussion duo music written for SHHH!! reflects on the night sky, distilling celestial motion into human scale, and exploring how dreams process emotions, memories, and even our own self-conception.

An Auditory Survey of the Last Days of the Holocene

Composed by Frank Horvat, An Auditory Survey of the Last Days of the Holocene presents a radical catalogue of our created world’s sounds. The listener is faced with echoes of our human-made environment, stripped bare of visual distractions, and taken on a journey of action and possibility.

Meanwhile

Meanwhile is a celebration of big, bold sonority and is the result of four years of collaborations with some of Canada’s most creative voices. The music of Meanwhile is visceral and colourful, full of curiosity, wonder, and the drive to explore new sound worlds.

Pianist Edana Higham rests her hands on top of a toy piano and is wearing a white silk dress with splotches of blue, red, green, and yellow. Percussionist Zac Pulak is looking thoughtfully off into the distance while holding a bundle of multicoloured mallets that play off of the colours on Edana's dress.
