Emily Manzo - Time in Water (2026)

Pianist Emily Manzo has released the album Time in Water, featuring works by contemporary composers Aaron Siegel and Mary Halvorson. The release is anchored by Siegel’s new four-movement suite, which explores the metaphorical dialogue between aquatic environments and the subjective nature of time, alongside Halvorson’s early compositions characterized by complex rhythms and sharp harmonic contrasts. Manzo draws upon her extensive history of collaboration with both artists to provide a profound interpretation of the material, balancing technical virtuosity with emotional resonance. The music spans a diverse emotional spectrum—from meditative stillness to aggressive intensity—highlighting the distinctive stylistic hallmarks of these prominent figures in the New York music scene.
