First Light Lake McDonald

Seattle cellist Gretchen Yanover was immersed in the world of classical music until college, when she expanded into different styles. Once introduced to a loop sampler, Gretchen began to create in this context. She continues to play both classical (acoustic) cello in NW Sinfonietta, and solo electric cello. Gretchen has three solo albums to date. https://gretchenyanover.com/

Here she presents a collection of previously unrecorded pieces for solo electric cello and looper, which will go on a future album. The inspiration for the music stems from a variety of sources, from the sweetness of a person driving a beeping vehicle, to the brutality depicted in a short story, to the joyful feelings of a sunny day.

This session was commissioned by Nonsequitur and recorded at home on April 12, 2020 by Ben Thomas. Photo by David Speranza.
