Following collaborations with lauded interpreters such as Quatuor Bozzini, No Hay Banda, Rei Nakamura and Maruta Staravoitava, award-winning composer (and 2023 JUNO nominee) Anthony Tan presents a solo outing that discovers a unique, disquieting place half-way between churning electronic abstraction and a manifold approach to acoustic piano.  On the mini album Susurrus, he embarks upon two excursions into dark, yet colourful territory, each unfolding patiently while presenting layer upon layer of minute detail.
