about

E N D R O L L is an EP that weaves together a landscape of improvisations by the multi-instrumentalists Shahzad Ismaily, Andrea Scala, and Stanford Cheung.

All music has a beginning and an ending. In other words, all music possesses "finality." The genesis of this album began with the question of whether all music needs a beginning, and instead, to hypothesize on whether music could still retain intention when drawn from a place of "finality." Do imaginary worlds exist beyond the threshold of "finality," and could improvisation serve as the catharsis towards a newly imagined genre that embodies "finality" as the vessel for creation? This is what three musicians sought to explore: coaxing an entire album’s worth of maximalist pieces out of a small handful of instruments, and crafting experimental, yet emotional inner worlds with just a few repetitive melodies.

A sonic symposium filled with music making, a celebratory clashing of temporal minds, and the honest, yet communal joy of creating from a place of spontaneity. Just three musicians fascinated by the notion of a perpetual life, and the perpetual fleeting beauty of it all — in people, in spaces, in memories. ... more
