Ellen Reid - Big Majestic (2024)

Ellen Reid — the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and sound artist renowned for her “ineffably moving” (LA Times) works that span opera, sound design, film scoring, avant-pop, and so much more — announces Big Majestic, a stunning new album out August 30 via Amsterdam Records / Eclipse Projects. It’s a transformative and meditative work that finds Reid exercising her towering compositional command and casting her unique voice into fresh shapes as it traverses the worlds of ambient, jazz, post-rock, and minimalism.

Accompanying the album’s announcement, Reid shares the album opener and title track “Big Majestic,” a swelling and regal overture for the breaking dawn that features Reid’s monolithic synth performance.
