Flux
Ethan Setiawan's first solo album, Flux.
Ethan Setiawan's path has wended its way through traditional bluegrass to Bach partitas to free jazz, and his debut full-length album is made up of original tunes drawing from all these wells. The album was conceived and crafted as a whole; the tunes were written for the band, who were chosen for the tunes. To write Flux, he dove deep into the compositional techniques and tunes of some of the pioneers of the current wave of bluegrass: Bela Fleck, Matt Flinner, David Grisman and Mike Marshall, to name a few. The resulting album contains close friends and bandmates, a batch of carefully crafted tunes, and the freshest grooves in bluegrass.
