Cellular Songs marks a pivotal entry in Meredith Monk’s acclaimed trilogy that intertwines music, theatre, and ecological exploration. Released by ECM New Series in 2025, this thirteenth album for ECM follows On Behalf of Nature (2016) and continues a transformative arc that probes the relationship between human voice, environment, and sound. The recording took place at Power Station in New York in 2022 and 2024, leading to a rich, immersive listening experience released on October 17, 2025. The project features Meredith Monk alongside the Vocal Ensemble (Ellen Fisher, Katie Geissinger, Joanna Lynn-Jacobs, Allison Sniffin) and percussion by John Hollenbeck. For fans and newcomers alike, Cellular Songs offers a gateway to Monk’s distinctive blend of contemporary classical, experimental vocal work, and theatre-like storytelling.
