Five years ago, guitarist and composer Matt Davis embarked upon a project called “City of Philadelphia, 2008.” Each month that year, he interviewed members of various communities around Philadelphia – and then wrote music inspired by those conversations for his ensemble, Aerial Photograph. Now, Matt Davis has brought his ensemble and a new iteration of his project here, to New York. The group joins us in our studio to play a selection from “City of New York, 2013,” as well as an older piece called "Nondum."
