Ambistellar is a collaboration between Stuart Dias and Jonny Peiffer, and backed by Sojoy. Ambistellar is a project that focuses on 10 constellations and involves this EP and the Ambistellar LP (due to be released June 12, 2020).

The 5 tracks on this EP were selected to be a microcosm of the entire 19-track universe. The listener is introduced to The Little Fox, The Giant Crane, The Little Bear, and Octans (the navigational tool). These pieces embody some the overarching themes of the whole - the Playful Child of Vulpecula (Little Fox), the Earth Mother of the Great Bear (Ursa Minor's mother), The Great Spirit of Grus (the Giant Crane), and the Trickster, here embodied by a spider version of Octans.

The EP is for digital download only. The LP pre-sale will launch Friday 5/8/2020 for both physical disc and digital download.

The 'Ambistellar' launch party will happen live on Zoom, 8pm Saturday, May 9: portsmouthnhtickets.com/events/sojoy-stu-dias-zoom-show-at-the-dance-hall-kittery-5-9-2020

Sojoy is a sometimes septet, other times octet, that primarily plays the music of Jonny Peiffer. 'Sojoy' is a neologism that characterizes both the automatic response to all the good going on, and the act of defiance and perseverance in the face of the rest.

Jonny Peiffer - drummer/composer
Zach Lange, Josh Gagnon - brass
