Label: Another Timbre

ボストンを拠点とする女性作曲家にして、キュレーター、パフォーマー、音楽教師でもあるNomi Epstein。Another Timbreからは初出版となる4年振りの室内楽アルバム[Shades]。1曲目[Shades]、3曲目[Sextet]はApartment Houseのスタジオ録音で、そして2曲目[Sounds]はMiako KleinやChristian Kestenも参加したカルテット編成でのライブ音源。テクスチャーの繊細さと不穏さが生み出す妙な揺らぎが心地良く、グッと抑えた構造も重みがあって良い。





Portrait CD of Boston-based composer Nomi Epstein, featuring three chamber works from 2011 to 2023. Two of the pieces ('shades' and 'Sextet') were recorded by Apartment House in 2023, and 'sounds for Berlin' is a concert recording from Berlin in 2019. Thanks to Samuel Dunscombe for the Berlin recording, and to Heather Frasch & Rebecca Lane for organising the Vibrant Matters concert series of which it was a part. The other two pieces were recorded in London by Simon Reynell.
