Catherine Lamb: interius/exterius (2022)
A striking new addition to the evolving catalog of Berlin-based composer Catherine Lamb, interius/exterius is a long-form chamber nonet developed through a sustained dialogue with New York’s Ghost Ensemble. The work’s title reflects its central organizing principle: tones move in “interior” and “exterior” directions, shifting between inward balance within the ensemble and outward expansion towards new harmonic possibilities. The result is a piece that is simultaneously precise and open, crystalline and fluid—attuned to the interplay between individual agency and collective form.
Captured in vivid detail in a 2024 studio recording produced by Lamb and Ghost Ensemble director Ben Richter, greyfade's May 2025 LP release of interius/exterius was engineered and mixed by Matt Sargent with additional mixing, mastering, and package design by greyfade's Joseph Branciforte.
