Eight chamber works by Canadian composer Linda Catlin Smith, beautifully performed by Apartment House. The album is structured around the first recordings of three of Linda's string quartets (tracks 1, 6 and 8), along with a short violin duo, a piece for clarinet, violin, cello and double bass, an early string trio, a very recent work for cello and piano, and a bass clarinet solo written for Apartment House regular Heather Roche. Together the pieces present a compelling portrait of the chamber music of one of the leading composers of her generation.

This is the sixth CD of Linda Catlin Smith's music released on Another Timbre, following the CD releases of 'Dirt Road', 'Drifter', 'Wanderer', 'Ballad', and 'Among the Tarnished Stars', which was released alongside Messiaen's 'Quatuor pour la fin du temps'.
