Recording news

donnaW — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:29:02 +0000

Art Lande, Paul Mullikin and I recorded the three Anna Akhmatova songs today. An apt description of these songs might be aleatoric chamber jazz. Yeah, I know – a description like that should drive listeners away in droves. No matter what you call it, I was so fortunate to have Art and Paul on this date, as it is tough music to put together, and they were both fantastic. Hopefully, I’ll have a little taste up on the site soon!

OK, we’re very close to recording the Anna Akhmatova set. Art Lande will be playing piano, and Paul Mullikin will be on percussion. We meet this coming Thursday to rehearse, and to set a recording date. More good news – Pete Sommer has agreed to play on another session that I am hoping will take place later in the summer!

Moving forward

The third piece in the Anna Akhmatova set is finished. The poems cover very wide emotional ground, and setting them has been a very heavy journey. As summer approaches, I am turning my thoughts towards recording. If all goes well, the Akhmatova set and the title track will be in the can by the end of summer. Maybe more?
