 Scott Li, a true Romantic and an accomplished violinist and composer, is the pioneer of the next generation’s classical music. Li’s classical roots, in tandem with formal training in electronic music composition, have allowed for the sculpting of a new kind of contemporary classical music that is more accessible to the masses. Consider Li’s compositions to be the center of convergence of all craft, and himself a pollinator in the crossbreeding of the fine arts. Li's Brahmsian sensitivity aids decadent thematic transformation and rich harmonies. United with modular synthesis, live processing, fixed media, film, photography, dance, and prose, Li’s compositions create a simultaneous understanding of The Beautiful and The Sublime, while exhibiting unparalleled emotional induction. Li’s unique synthesis of art is a petition for nonconformity in the classical tradition; however, his transcendence of genre, form, and medium fuse into a greater whole: a solidarity among artists, and an equality among all consumers. Li effectively dissolves the bastion of privilege and wealth that has long isolated classical music from popular culture, and with unbounded genius and rare humility, he is to be one of the classical tradition’s ushers for a renewal of widespread interest.

 Recently signed by The Native Sound, June Pastel is the brainchild of Venezuelan-American composer and engineer Anthony Peña. Despite being labeled as Alternative/Indie, June Pastel’s music transcends the boundaries of both genre and language. Peña’s work combines indie with jazz, dreampop, and chamber music, English with Spanish, personal experience with group expression, and the real with the metaphysical. With lush melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and sundry sketches of influence, June Pastel presents a warm, rare potion of pensive and powerful, bringing the consumer into a charismatic universe representing the entwining of many thoughts and colors into one. June Pastel’s debut album Collages is slated for release this coming Friday, June 29, and they will begin their summer tour of both coasts in July.
