Jonathan Harvey/Frances-Marie Uitti
'Imaginings'
- TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK -
Cat. No: SCD28032 Genre: electroacoustic/improvisation
Now widely available for the first time, this re-release documents the historic meeting of leading contemporary composer Jonathan Harvey and internationally renowned cellist Frances-Marie Uitti. Imaginings is a set of nine extracts from an improvisation for cello and synthesisers. Although taken from a single and spontaneously-conceived creation, each selected extract concentrates on particular musical ideas and timbric sources. The result is a collection of eerie and evocative sonic landscapes that explore a variety of innovative and often surprising techniques.
Recorded in the Harvey studio in 1993, these experiments in sound are only lightly edited - mostly to eliminate background 'noise' provided by the family dog Sappho! The cello is retuned but untreated electronically; the synthesisers used are the Yamaha SY77 and DX7 11.
