Program note: "buffering."(for choir and electronics) is about the mixed feelings of expectation, boredom, frustration, and missing personal connection that is sometimes inherent in virtual communication. The formal structure is a gradual building of a conglomerate sound mass, split into two main sections (Section A and Section B), separated by a brief transition and concluded by a brief coda.

Music: “Rainbow Tangle” for piano and electronics
Composer: Tom Flaherty
Artist: Nadia Shpachenko, piano
Album: Quotations & Homages
Label: FRESH! From Reference Recordings (FR-726)
https://referencerecordings.com/recording/quotations-homages/

Nadia Shpachenko’s latest Reference Recordings release Quotations & Homages features World Premiere recordings of works for solo piano, for piano and electronics, for speaking pianist, for piano with extended techniques, and collaborative works for 6 pianists (performed with Ray­-Kallay Duo, HOCKET and Genevieve Feiwen Lee) inspired by a variety of earlier composers and works. These fascinating new pieces come from eight notable modern composers: Tom Flaherty, Missy Mazzoli, Vera Ivanova, James Matheson, Nick Norton, Adam Borecki, Daniel Felsenfeld and Peter Yates.

Pianist Nadia Shpachenko-­Gottesman has performed extensively in solo recitals and with orchestras in major venues across North America, Europe and Asia. Described by critics as a “truly inspiring and brilliant pianist…spellbinding in sensitivity and mastery of technique,” Nadia enjoys bringing into the world things that are out of the box—powerful pieces that often possess unusual sonic qualities or instrumentation. Nadia’s concert highlights include solo recitals at Carnegie Hall, Concertgebouw, Disney Hall and Bargemusic, as well as numerous appearances as a soloist with orchestras in Europe and the Americas. An enthusiastic promoter of contemporary music, she has been chosen to give world and national premieres of more than 60 piano, string piano and toy piano works. Her previous album on Reference Recordings, Woman at the New Piano (FR-­711, 2014), was nominated for GRAMMY® Awards in three categories: Best Classical Compendium; Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance, and as part of the body of work in the Producer of the Year, Classical nomination for Marina A. Ledin and Victor Ledin.
