Poem by Richard Leach selected and interpreted / recited / sung by Christiane Offenbar

The ice is thin, the ice is thin -
the shore more distant year by year,
and nearly sixty since I left it now.

There is no going back again.
And I am old yet not so very old -
I bless the ice. I pray for cold.

Thin Ice is a piece for Alto (Christiane Offenbar in adaptive JI), Female Choir in 16 edo, Harp in 8 edo, bass drum and tamtam.

Under Pass is a layered single pass performance with mastering. u-he Brazille, fxpansion Strobe 2 tuned to 15 edo and percussion via Kontakt samples and performed on a Linnstrument.

15 edo is one of my least favorite edos because of the 12 edo 3rds hiding in the pitch set. However, when I forget about that I think it can make some pretty strident music. Photo by Chris Vaisvil.

Hello, I am a 12 tet and microtonal composer who works at the edge between acoustic and electronic instruments.

My art is about now and is a response to the inspiration I feel from the visual, musical, poetic, and literary art of 20th and 21st centuries as well as world events . The art of our period I think has so much to say about who we are, where we have been, and what we will, or will not be as a community – a world village – a people, a unity of souls divided by the gulf of physical being and monetary inequity but united in spirit, desires, hopes and dreams. My goal is to communicate with you and if what I do speaks to you then I as an artist I have succeeded.
