Chamber Music- DeChellis Chamber Music Ensemble; sachimay records
![]() |
music for voice/piano/violin/percussion/theremin "Improvised" generally meant everyone onstage doing their own thing, generally involving a whole lotta notes.The Dan DeChellis Chamber Ensemble uses an approach informed more by Pauline Oliveros than William Parker: Performers on theremin, percussion, piano, violin, and voice melded their parts into an eerie, slowly mutating whole, with singer Anita DeChellis bridging free jazz and art song. Improv tends to highlight the indefinable quality, tangentially related to musicianship, called "musicality." David Krasnow, The Village Voice order at: |
