Wavefield Ensemble, described as a 'great sounding group with a knack for dynamic programming,' is a collectively organized group of musicians that launched in 2018.
Historical Context
For many of the musicians, this recording session was the first time they had played with other musicians in seven months due to the pandemic.
Recording & Production
The album "Concrete & Void" was recorded live in a parking garage at Montclair State University in October 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The album reflects Wavefield Ensemble's ethos of electro-acoustic pieces, ranging from fully notated to improvisational formats, including works by ensemble members and collaborators.
Album & Artwork
The album's cover and interior art are details from "Untitled 1, for Wavefield," a graphic score by Nicholas DeMaison, who is also a composer and co-director of Wavefield Ensemble.
Album & Artwork
This album, "Concrete & Void," is the Wavefield Ensemble's first album.
Composition History
Four composers were commissioned to create new works for this album, and another contributed a recent piece, all of which were recorded in a single session.
