Cris Derksen - The Visit (2025)

"The Visit" by Canadian cellist Cris Derksen is an uncompromising and genre-defying musical tapestry.

The music is characterized by raw energy, unpredictable structures, and emotional depth, ranging from avant-garde experiments to atmospheric pieces featuring spoken word elements. It is a challenging yet profoundly rewarding work by a distinctive artist who remains steadfastly true to her unique artistic vision.
