Ezra Feinberg

American composer and guitarist Ezra Feinberg, now based in the Hudson Valley, creates instrumental music at the crossroads of ambient, pastoral folk, repetitive minimalism and improvisation. His career began on the San Francisco scene with Citay, a collective he helped found, before he moved in a more personal direction under his own name, focusing on guitar lines, cyclical motifs and slow textures that prioritize listening and duration. Ezra Feinberg’s solo discography centers on Pentimento and Others (2018), Recumbent Speech (2020) and Soft Power (2024). Recorded in New York with engineer John Thayer, this third album further expands his vocabulary in a format where the writing remains open to contributions from other musicians, including Mary Lattimore, David Moore, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma and Robbie Lee. Feinberg also contributed to Arp’s Zebra, released in 2018. Alongside his musical activity, Ezra Feinberg practices as a psychoanalyst—another facet of his work that informs a practice attentive to shifts in perception, long spans of time and subtle displacements of form.
