textura reviews Scattered Threads
Released May 2026 on Belarca Records
“…elegant…transporting…”
“…a composer who's forged his own style…”
“…(Brancato and Hamme) roaring through syncopated passages and feverishly engaging in a passionate, mambo-tinged dance.
“…Brancato and Hamme moving dynamically from one modulation to the next with authority, the changes especially impressively executed when the contrasts in tone, rhythm, and tempo are so pronounced.”
“…riveting…”
“…Seven Scenes for Four Violins is performed by a multi-tracked Hamme alone and thus grants him a terrific showcase for his prodigious skill-set. The layered blend entrances from the outset, and his precise synchronization of the four parts makes for a riveting twelve minutes.”
