Composers Emily Cooley, Alex Weiser, and Fjóla Evans utilize Steve Reich's idea of multi-tracked cello with broader harmonic, gestural, and dramatic vocabularies.
Compositional Technique
Steve Reich's Cello Counterpoint, written in 2003, expands a single cellist into a large ensemble by having them play along with seven pre-recorded cello parts.
Recording & Production
This album was recorded at Firehouse 12 in New Haven, CT, and produced by Ashley Bathgate, Emily Cooley, and Alex Weiser.
Album & Artwork
The works on this album celebrate Steve Reich's musical world while building on the foundation that it lays.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The compositional technique of expanding a soloist into a large ensemble through pre-recorded layers augments the sonic palette of a solo instrument while maintaining the simplicity and personality of an individual performer.
