the sky in our hands, our hands in the sky – by Leilehua Lanzilotti

2022 Pulitzer Finalist Leilehua Lanzilotti releases debut composer / sound artist album on Innova Recordings featuring Sō Percussion and Longleash.

In conjunction with the nationally touring exhibition Lanzilotti co-curated, Toshiko Takaezu: Worlds Within, Lanzilotti produced this album of chamber and experimental sound art works that explore the resonance of Takaezu’s bronze bells and the playfulness of her ceramic rattles. Lanzilotti writes, “Growing up at The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu, I remember Toshiko Takaezu’s ceramic works being the same size as I was—the greeting presence of one of her mahina, or moons, as you entered the museum.”
