Nemtsov - Amplified Imagination - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In complex layers of sound, Sarah Nemtsov creates a polydimensional utopian vision of urban life - confusing, energetic, and sometimes nerve-wracking InchIt has to do with the tension between consequence and chaos.Inch In InchZimmer I-IIIInch, Nemtsov explores the extremes between an Inchaesthetic of fragilityInch and Inchthe courage to be uglyInch, making use of analog effect devices and theatrical gestures to produce abstract visions of reality. Three of her chamber music pieces can be viewed as InchextensionsInch of the InchZimmerInch series. In these pieces, the electronic element of the music functions as Inchinherent counterpointInch Inchamplified imaginationInch juxtaposes various layers of acoustical reality, Inchdrummed variationInch evokes the patterns of technoid music, while Inchimplicated amplificationInch uses a looping station to create manic worlds of repetition. In Inchwhite eyes erasedInch, Nemtsov releases a flood of energy that pushes far beyond the academic propriety of much New Music. This recording brings together three of the most exciting New Music ensembles of our time the Sonar Quartet, the Adapter Ensemble, and members of Ensemble Mosaik.
