Dafna Naphtali and Gordon Beeferman are releasing their debut duo album, “Pulsing Dot,” on Clang Records, September 1, 2017. Naphtali and Beeferman perform duet pieces and improvisations for piano and voice with kinetic sound processing, fractal rhythms, and general polyphonic/kaleidophonic disturbances. Gordon Beeferman fleshes out protean fragments into strikingly visceral structures and landscapes that take the piano to its limit, and Dafna Naphtali augments her high energy live sound processing of Beeferman’s piano with her extended vocal techniques/sounds/multi-modal singing and a custom take on gesture- and voice-activated electronics.

Denmark-based Clang Records was founded to “take adventurous music beyond the confinements of the experimental community… put forward an adventurous space for discovering novel, musical identities and in passing invite others to join in, in the pursuit of deeper listening pleasures.”
