OUR DEBUT ALBUM ON THE NYC LABEL INFREQUENT SEAMS - OUT DEC 18, 2020 on LP/CD and digital download
PRE-ORDER NOW!!
https://reddesertensemble.bandcamp.com/album/chorochronos
CHOROCHRONOS is a collection of four gorgeous experimental works for clarinet, percussion, and electronics. Red Desert Ensemble (clarinetist Katie Porter and composer/percussionist Devin Maxwell) lovingly recorded duos they've performed for almost two decades in small spaces, for even smaller audiences all over the US (and Canada) by composers André Cormier, Lucie Vítková and Michael Pisaro alongside a huge new spectral work for clarinet and electronics by Maxwell.
The result is exceptional, a document of music trapped in ether or volcanic rock, both unearthed stillness and totally jarring, a perfect music-as-art for our time. With cover artwork by Christine Heindl, liner notes by Adam Tinkle, design by Phillip Niemeyer and video art by Svavar Jónatansson and Dev Harlan, the album is released on vinyl, CD, and digital download by Infrequent Seams. CHOROCHRONOS follows Red Desert Ensemble's tradition of inviting audiences into the sound world of avant-garde music with practiced interpretations, attentive curation, and insightful performances.
UPCOMING SHOWS!
