Olga Neuwirth's Magic Flu-idity is a reimagining of her 2018 flute concerto Aello-ballet mécanomorphe, which was conceived as a companion piece to J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 4.
Compositional Technique
Pamela Z's Louder Warmer Denser incorporates recorded interview fragments of Claire Chase, including her stories, laughter, and nonverbal sounds, to create the piece's melodic and rhythmic material.
Composition History
All works on this album were commissioned by Claire Chase as part of her Density 2036 project and received their world premieres in March 2019 at The Kitchen.
Compositional Technique
The album's works are genetically traced back to the three-note motif (F-E-F#) from Edgard Varèse's Density 21.5, which serves as a 'germ' from which the music grows.
Composition History
This album is part of Claire Chase's Density 2036, a 24-year initiative to commission new works for the flute, inspired by Edgard Varèse's Density 21.5.
Album & Artwork
Density 2036: part vi (2019) is dedicated to Doriot Anthony Dwyer, a renowned flutist.
Recording & Production
These recordings were made possible by Meyer Sound's Constellation acoustical system, which creates flexible acoustical environments and allowed for single-take recordings.
