"From Us to Somewhere Else" follows the tree metaphor while looking outwards to the forest, the community, with the perspective of strength in teamwork. The music combines members of the Chase Morrin duet and quartet, showing the collaboration of musical themes and members while combining improvised music from everyone involved. As musicians, we believe that music is an art form that can mimic and bolster human life and community, and is fundamental to who we are. Chase Morrin, piano, Lihi Haruvi, saxophone, Lesley Mok, drums, Max Kraus, bass, Womni Jung, vocals. Composed by Chase Morrin and Wonmi Jung. Lyrics by Wonmi Jung.
