This is a little sneak peak of a recording project I have coming up later this year. This is my transcription of the Prelude of J.S. Bach's Cello Suite No.1, performed on bass recorder. Hope you enjoy!

ことのはすてっぷ feat.あえっP × 半端未定

This recording was taken at the premiere performance of Lisa Cheney's 'Everything is Illuminated' (2016) for Percussion, Harp, Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass.

Conducted by: Julian Pellicano 
Performed by: Joe Rebman (Harp), Alfonso Fernandez (Viola), Anne Wybenga (Cello), Chris Salvito (Perc.), Lili Sarayrah (Violin), Nicoletta Favari (Piano), Sam Bobinski (D. Bass).

The performance and premiere took place during the Yale Norfolk New Music Workshop, Norfolk, Connecticut, USA on the July 2nd, 2016.

Recorded by: Matthew LeFevre

Program Note:
Everything is Illuminated is work deeply rooted in the composer’s preoccupation with colour and timbre. In this work bright, metallic, plucked or struck sounds often dominate the foreground in a consistent quintuplet figure. Throughout the piece the musician’s voices are also utilized as a largely percussive technique - stage whispering works and syllables of the title. Many of the metre choices and revolving sense of pulse can also be traced back to the syllables within the work title. 

Note: 'Everything is Illuminated' is not related to the work of author, Jonathan Safran Foer, this is just a happy coincidence.

//
I wrote Death Wish after watching a short film featuring New Zealand survivors of sexual assault. One of the survivors, Hinewirangi Kohu-Morgan, spoke about the out-of-control spiralling of her life for many years and how she developed what she called a death wish. In the piece I thought about the spooling and unspooling of energy and how we are all bound and driven by forces both within and beyond ourselves.
 
With the greatest of respect for Hinewirangi Kohu-Morgan who has used her life to create art and music and to help survivors of abuse and those who have perpetrated abuse.
 
I ōrea te tuātara ka patu ki waho. Aroha nui.
