Akosuen is the experimental music outlet of the pianist, violinist, violist, and educator Billie Howard. She is preparing to release the long anticipated album, In Flux, on January 22nd.
The album had been set for in March of 2020, but both the release event and album were delayed for obvious reasons. Over the last two year’s Howard has worked to re-record and re-image the EP that remains mostly improvised, and is built on piano, synth, and drum.
For the project she enlisted the help of Nate Kappes and Jesse Giallombardo, and worked to highlight the effects of a family member’s borderline personality disorder and the pain of a chronic injury as they coexist through periods of agony and relief.
