Phase to Phase was released on the Japanese label FTARRI.  Composer Sky Macklay wrote of the release in I Care If You Listen, "A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending an intimate house show in Berlin, which served as the album-release event for Phase to Phase, a gorgeous work by bass clarinetists and co-composers Katie Porter and LC.  Hearing Katie and LC play together live, sitting close to them and feeling their vibrations was so comforting and luxurious, and their love for and tender treatment of each gentle sound and multiphonic permeates the album."

Lucio Capece Argentinian musician based in Europe since 2002, specifically in Berlin since 2004. Between the late 90 ́s and 2010 he offered music in the context of Electro Acoustic Improvisation, focused in quietness, attentive listening and granular material.

Since 2010 he dedicates to offer works focused in the Perception experience, that he performs mainly in solo and in the context of occasional collaborations based in the same interest. He composes his own pieces that may include improvisation and different ways of writing.
