“a sonic landscape, palette of harmonious textures that stretches perception of tonal aesthetics.”
Hailing from Denton, Texas, Leoncarlo Canlas is a musical educator & performing artist who draws from his experiences as a versatile violinist, and in-demand session musician to connect with fellow artists and audiences alike. As a solo performer, he favors the technique of live-looping to capture living pieces of music that create vivid symphonic soundscapes. Listeners can hear musical gestures evolve into avant-garde tapestries of movement that feel transcendent and yet still resonant with the spirit of a moment. As a collaborator, he has had the honor of sharing the stage & studio with a diverse range of artists spanning different genres, including internationally renowned musical acts.
DUO 彩 AYA @duoaya_flutemarimba
“colourful universes evocative of attractive panoramas, anchored in luminous tones.”
Duo 彩 AYA is an electrifying ensemble featuring flutist Rachel Woolf and marimbist Makana
Jimbu. Their debut album Cycles, (Neuma Records 2025), highlights commissioned works by
Evan Williams, Miriama Young, Fumihiro Ono, and Paul Millette. “Global and virtuosic,”
(Am:plified Mag), Cycles explores our shared ecological, culture, and creative landscapes. “An
outstanding release…take a deep dive into Cycles so you can experience all it has to offer,”
praises RAG Magazine. Pan M 360 emphasizes the duo’s “excellent technical and sensory
performances.” The marriage of lyricism and rhythm creates “a duo with a great potential for
evocative versatility.”
2025 Gold Medal winners of the Global Music Awards, Duo 彩 AYA has performed across the
United States and Japan. Their artistry has been featured on radio programs across the United
States. Through their innovative programming and commitment to global artistic dialogue, they
continue to redefine the possibilities of chamber music and inspire audiences worldwide.
