Exclusive Early Release at NativeDSD from the Edit Master Source
Boundless is a visionary collaboration between two master musicians whose lives and art traverse continents, histories, and traditions: Chinese p**a soloist, vocalist, and composer Min Xiao-Fen, and Ukrainian bandurist, vocalist, and composer Julian Kytasty. Both artists are classically trained and profoundly shaped by their work with avant-garde guitar icon Derek Bailey, whose fearless approach to improvisation encouraged deep listening and creative dialogue across musical boundaries.
The album is the second from Min Xiao-Fen on Anderson Audio NY at NativeDSD. Following her earlier album White Lotus. Set for official release on April 17, 2026, it is available to NativeDSD Listeners a week early.
In Boundless, Min and Kytasty weave centuries-old musical lineages into a strikingly contemporary sonic language—at once intimate, expansive, and deeply human. On its release date, Boundless will be premiered live at Lincoln Center, with a special performance at The David Rubenstein Atrium. Boundless is produced by Jim Anderson, multi–Grammy Award–winning recording engineer and immersive sound producer, with Ulrike Schwarz.
For Min, Boundless also carries a deeply personal resonance. She recalls performing in Kyiv in 1988 as part of a cultural exchange—an experience that continues to echo through this collaboration. “Through this music, we continue that spirit of connection,” she says, “and send a prayer for peace in Ukraine and around the world.”
More than an album title, Boundless is a journey across time, borders, and genres—a testament to music’s power to transcend division and imagine new forms of connection.
