After Long Drought (2016) for vibraphone and live, interactive electroacoustics takes its inspiration from a poem with the same title by Wally Swist:

The sky rips open
after days of grinding heat, 
waves of meadow grass

shift in the blowing rain, 
and floating on the breadth 
of its extended wings,

as bright as a vision,
the great blue heron 
strokes through the storm.

The percussionist’s virtuosic foray through Swist’s evocative work conjures images of an aggressive summer squall, with its torrential driving rain and gusting wind reflecting life’s unpredictability and tumult. As the piece progresses, the storm fades into the background as our focus is directed to a peaceful calm discovered amidst the storm – a heron majestically gliding through the gale. After Long Drought was commissioned by Scott Deal. After Long appears with the author’s permission and is published in Winding Paths Worn through Grass (Chicago, IL: Virtual Artists Collective, 2012).

‘Operatic Electric’ consists of Juecheng Chen - countertenor, Gene Pritsker - Composer/ Di.J./Guitar. The duo performs Gene Pritsker’s compositions written for countertenor and electronics as well as re contextualizations of classic aria’s. Their debut self-titled album explores and re-imagines the music of John Dowland, Henry Purcell, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Claudio Monteverdi, as well as original compositions by Pritsker that push the boundaries of the countertenor's voice and how it can blend within various genres and styles.
