Partially funded by a generous grant from the Division of Research and Innovation, Still Life: Collected Music for Cello and Guitar by Stephen Goss was released in June 2020 on Parma Records. The Patterson/Sutton Duo, Dr. Kimberly Patterson (Assistant Professor of Cello) and Dr. Patrick Sutton (Instructor of Commercial Guitar), recorded works by Welsh composer Stephen Goss, including a multi-media piece based on the paintings and life of the abstract expressionist, Clyfford Still. BBC Music Magazine praised the "beguiling" album, and selections from the album have been featured on several Apple Music Featured Playlists and radio stations around the world.

In addition to Still Life, Patterson and Sutton were both elected into the Grammy Recording Academy as voting members of the Memphis Chapter in July 2020.
