about

Claire Chase, described by the New York Times as "the most important flutist of our time," releases her most ambitious recording project to date: four full-length albums of the complete Density 2036 cycles from 2013-2018. The fourth album in the four-CD compilation features the latest work in Chase's 23-year commissioning project: an evening-length work, "Pan," by the Brazilian composer Marcos Balter. "Pan" is scored for flute, electronics and an ensemble made up of community members, and was conceived in collaboration with Chase, the director Douglas Fitch, the sound artist Levy Lorenzo, and Jane M. Saks/Project&, creative producer and commissioner. For this world premiere recording, Chase and Lorenzo sampled and recorded all of the ensemble parts--voices, a tuned wine glass chorus, a tuned wine bottle chorus, triangles, chimes, music-boxes and body percussion.

"Meyer Sound’s pioneering Constellation acoustical system made these recordings possible. Constellation creates ideal and flexible acoustical environments in any room or performance venue at the flick of switch, giving performer and audience alike the optimal acoustical environment and performance experience. In these recordings, spanning a five year period, Claire Chase utilized the range of Constellation’s capabilities at Meyer Sound’s Pearson Theatre in Berkeley, California. The recording process is true to a performance: no editing, no post-production. Everything you hear is from a single take, with the perfect sound balance achieved through the magic of Meyer’s Constellation technology. The emotional impact is extraordinary, and is harnessed by the acoustical environment. The results, as you will hear, are remarkable."
