Bringing our third Stanford residency to a close with two intense days of documentation, one brilliant concert and quiiite a lot of partying 😁😁 Thank you to all the composers at CCRMA for having us back again. We truly love working with you all - a supportive atmosphere, diverse range of sounds, and all in such an unbelievably beautiful place. Was also a privilege to work with mega recording engineer Murat Çolak - we learned a lot! SO much love for you all - Distractfold 💜
Repost from @anotherskyfestival: 7 days left to listen to the broadcast of @_samsalem’s 2022 work: ‘ Shadows pass the morning ‘gins to break, The starry floor, the watry shore’, for amplified quartet and 12 orchestral musicians on @bbcradio3 listening link in stories Conductor @mark_knoop collaborators @distractfold_ thanks @bbcphilharmonic! Words from @_samsalem “This work began with a simple premise - that all of contemporary life, the good, the bad, the darkness and the light, could be found along the banks of the River Thames. Over the course of 18 months I walked the 120 miles of the tidal River, from Weybridge to the Isle of Grain, returning again and again with camera and microphone, observing - waiting.” Longer text @_samsalem
A confusion of bows, laughs, and the unselecting of aeroplane mode - that’s how flabbergasted we were to be a part of @anotherskyfestival 2024! Hats off to the production team and all the incredible artists who made the 2nd edition of this festival so memorable! 📸: What About The Ash / Marc Tunguz
