Olga Amelchenko Quartet

Touching the Invisible is the new album by saxophonist and composer Olga Amelchenko, recorded with her new quartet and due for release in October 2026 on Edition Records. For this project, Olga Amelchenko is joined by Rob Clearfield on piano and keyboards, Juan Villarroel on double bass and electric bass, and John Hadfield on drums. Saxophonist Musina Ebobissé makes guest appearances on several tracks. The music explores the space between the known and the yet-to-come — those moments of anticipation, wonder and possibility that accompany the unknown.

Driven by lyrical melodies, rich harmonic textures and powerful grooves, the quartet creates a world that is both sensitive and deeply rooted in movement. The compositions strike a balance between carefully constructed forms and a great freedom of interaction, allowing the musicians to move naturally from precise ensemble playing to more spontaneous moments of improvisation. Sensitive, energetic and deeply melodic, *Touching the Invisible* invites the listener into a musical world fuelled by curiosity, imagination and collective momentum.
