Derek Hunter Wilson - ScuLPtures (LP)

Portland-based composer and pianist Derek Hunter Wilson returns with his third solo album, Sculptures, released on Beacon Sound. An ode to the ancient and contested shorelines of the Pacific Northwest, the record's six longform pieces are deeply embedded in place, tracing a journey through grief and the passage of time — including the loss of his father. Built upon loops created from extended sessions with harpist Joshua Ward, the album gathers, darkens, releases, and clears in intimate, elemental cycles.

Sculptures is a work that resists being fixed in the past — Wilson's looped and textural materials feel resculpted with each listen, softening and shifting in ways that invite the listener's own memories into the music. The album includes a double-sided insert featuring a poem by Mathias Svalina, adding a literary dimension to this quietly weight-bearing record. Fans of meditative, geography-driven music at the intersection of electronic and classical composition will find this essential.
