Heather and Rose have commissioned ten composers to write duets for a unique combination of instruments: alto flute and bass flute. They have commissioned composers from across the United States, including women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
As passionate low flute performers, they opted for alto flute and bass flute duets because this pairing is relatively unexplored compared to other combinations.
Unseen//Unheard features an extraordinary collection of pieces by ten visionary composers: Nicole Chamberlain, Timothy Hagen, Leanna Keith, Zachery S Meier, Alyssa Mercedes Mena, Lisa Neher, Arturo Rodriguez, Sonya Leonore Stahl, Julie Stone, and Yoshi Weinberg.

CHTHONICA is the debut album of violist/improviser/composer Heather Bentley’s composed works for chamber ensemble.
Written over a three year period, the quartet and quintet bear witness and honor two artists whose work has had a profound impact on the composer. PIXIE is an homage to Pamela Colman Smith, illustrator of the Ryder/Waite/Smith tarot deck. A synesthete, she would listen to music while painting and drawing, thus the imagery of the cards emerged in her mind through sound. In composing this piece, Heather reverse engineered the process by doing several readings, using different tarot spreads, and listening for the sounds they evoked.
