Cello, Guitar, Bass, Prophet-Five, Piano - Janel Leppin
Over the past two decades, the cellist and multi-instrumentalist Janel Leppin has worked steadily to become one of the most compelling composers and improvisers of her generation. With her beloved Washington, D.C. scene as her home base, she has earned renown among fans of new and experimental music worldwide.
Now at the peak of her powers as both a bandleader and a solo performer, she’s released Slowly Melting; a riveting solo program that puts Leppin’s fuzz-saturated cello at the fore. She also contributes her accompaniment, crafting expansive soundscapes through guitar, bass, piano and Prophet-5 synthesizer.
Slowly Melting is a solo album of deep possibilities and deeper results.
