Percussionist and producer Ben Sloan announces muted colors live — a follow up EP to his acclaimed debut album muted colors.
“The music floats by in a genial haze, with bits of color and life flashing by at the edges of your attention” — Pitchfork
On Friday October 27, 2023, percussionist and producer Ben Sloan, who has performed and recorded with The National, Moses Sumney, Beth Orton, Mouse on Mars, Rozi Plain, Serengeti, and WHY?, releases muted colors live, an EP containing collaboratively-crafted live renditions of tracks taken from his acclaimed debut album muted colors released earlier this year on New Amsterdam Records.
On muted colors live Sloan brings together an all-star line up (Brooklynn Rae, Brianna Kelly, Michael-Andrew Spalding, Darian Donovan Thomas, Mike Haldeman, and Stephen Patota) to reimagine three tracks from muted colors for a live performance video. “So much of the record ‘muted colors’ was created solo, so it felt especially exciting to open things up to a full ensemble,” says Sloan. “Everyone involved brought a new dimension to the music.”

Wonderful recording! Inspired writing by 6 composers in a wide variety of styles. The playing is superb as well and beautifully recorded. Love it! Cordâme
