Chloe (Performed by Garth Knox)

Brooklyn-based cellist Clarice Jensen’s gorgeous sophomore album and first for FatCat’s 130701 imprint, ‘The experience of repetition as death’, was recorded and mixed by Francesco Donadello at Vox-Ton studios in Berlin in late 2018 and mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri. Following up her hugely impressive 2018 debut, ‘For This From That Will Be Filled’ , which included collaborations with Jóhann Jóhannsson and Michael Harrison, all of the material on this new album was written and performed by Clarice alone and all of the sounds on it were created with a cello through a variety of effects and effects pedals. 

An outstanding musician, Clarice has recorded and performed for a host of stellar artists including Jóhann Jóhannsson, Max Richter, Björk, Arcade Fire, Nick Cave, Jónsi, Stars of the Lid, Dustin O’Halloran, Joanna Newsom, Nico Muhly, Dirty Projectors, Frightened Rabbit and Beirut. As the artistic director of ACME (the American Contemporary Music Ensemble), she’s helped bring to life some of the most revered works of modern classical music, and as a solo artist has developed a distinctive compositional approach - improvising and layering her instrument through loops and a chain of electronic effects to open out a series of rich, drone-based sound fields. Forging a very elegant and precise vision, her music has been described by Self-Titled as “incredibly powerful neo-classical pieces that seem to come straight from another astral plane” and by Boomkat as “languorously void-touching ideas, scaling and sustaining a sublime tension”.

Invisible Cities OST

Total Perspective Vortex

Hailing from North Yorkshire in the UK, Simon Goff has always been a musician that has been seeking the space between genres. Growing up as a violinist performing in concert halls around the north of England, he also spent time learning from the legendary session bassist Herbie Flowers (David Bowie, Lou Reed -Walk on the Wild Side). 

Now residing in Berlin, Germany, he has found a home where is own music is able to speak. He has spent the last years exploring how the violin can be manipulated and processed to create a unique sound world that focuses on where acoustic and electronic sounds can meet. His live performances merge these worlds harmoniously and shift effortlessly between intimate fragility to expansive cinematic soundscapes. 

His new album Vale will be released in April 2021 with Berlin label 7K! and has been described as ‘a dazzling exploration of the interface between violin and technology and between the poles of intimacy and grandeur’

A collaborator to the likes of Andrea Belfi (Float), Federico Albanese (Neue Meister), Peter Broderick (Erased Tapes), Thor Harris (Swans) and Xiu Xiu to name a few, he has performed at the like of Funkhaus (Berlin, DE) the South Bank Centre (London, UK), Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg, DE) and CTM Festival (Berlin, De). 

As well as a performer, he is a sound engineer at Vox-Ton studios in Berlin working alongside head engineer Francesco Donadello. He has worked with the likes of Apparat, Johann Johannsson, Dustin O'Halleron, Hauschka and Hildur Gudnadottir on her recent scores for the Joker (Golden Globe, Academy Award) and  Chernobyl (Emmy, HBO) for which he received a Grammy award for his contribution as Recording Engineer.
