made in kentucky & denver, 2016-2018

recommended listening:
lying down in a comfortable area; eyes closed (or in the dark); with high quality headphones.

these songs were initially sketched with sennheiser ear buds and later mixed with mackie hr824s - you will hear the most detail with listening apparatus of that ilk (or better).

these songs were initially created for a live performance during the all night "cele :: doze" sleep concert that ocurred in denver in jan, 2017 (and later recomposed into songs winter 2018).

some locations where field recordings that were used were gathered: the boetecher hall (i.e. the denver philharmonic), golden gate canyon - golden, colorado, & red river gorge in kentucky.

note: some phrases in the obeisance (songs 3 & 7) are inspired of and dedicated to the late composers susumo yokota and johann johannsson respectively - who inspired me greatly along the way.

released October 16, 2018

guitar, piano, bells, vibraphone, field recordings, composition, effects processing:
jason corder

viola, violins:
julie slater, anna hess

vocals, harp, synth:
kirah perle

trumpet textures:
matt yarrington

additional harp and synth:
jacqueline sophia cordova, micha botranger

Nice one.

Lori Goldston with Aidan Baker and Andrea Belfi – The Passion of Joan of Arc

Quote:

When performing her dream-like cello score to accompany Carl Dreyer’s 1928 silent film masterpiece, THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC, Lori Goldston has been praised for keeping it a truly live experience — even for her. Drawing from medieval secular and liturgical music, free improvisation and electronics, the score was originally commissioned by Emily Charles of the Fine Arts Theater in Berkeley in July of 1998.

This will almost certainly bump something else out if my 2018 AOTY Top 10.
