about

This is the 4-year-anniversary release of Arethusa Falls, including bonus material recorded in the same year with the same ensemble.

Deep within the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the cool waters of Bemis Brook cascade down a 140 foot granite cliffside into the rocky pools below. Hikers from far and wide enjoy a midday respite here in the misty spray of the falls, turning the arduous, sweaty trek through the heavy heat and humidity of the summer into an effort well worthwhile. The din of the falling water muffles the sound of children hollering and laughing as they attempt to brave the freezing pools on a dare. The vast sky overhead boasts a pristine marble blue, hugging the length of the deep-green pine-covered slopes of Crawford Notch which cradle Arethusa Falls.

Arethusa Falls offers a snapshot into the life of (then) 22 year-old saxophonist and composer Adam Claussen from 2017-2019. What initially started as a recording project with his fellow musicians at the University of Miami in the fall of 2017 became a fully realized album by late 2018, debuting the performance and compositional skills Claussen has developed over the years.

With the help of Claussen's roommate Andre Bernier on piano, Robert Papacica on guitar, graduate student Marty Quinn on bass, UM alum Zander Ambrose on drums, and music engineer Erin Mutchler in the recording booth, the quintet recorded six compositions which would come to encapsulate the spirit of Arethusa Falls.
