RICHTER, BEN - Mymerian

"Deep and powerful drone compositions recorded live at Epsilon Spires Church performed on organ, accordion, contrabass and cello by Ben Richter , Mike Bullock , and Laura Cetilia . Rich and meditative, arcing past, present and future. This Sedimental release is a monumental document from avant-garde composer Ben Richter. "This music was made possible through the kind invitation of Executive Director Jamie Mohr to a winter residency at Epsilon Spires, a non-profit performance center housed in a historic former church in Brattleboro, Vermont, with the opportunity to compose a set of works for their 1906 three-manual Estey pipe organ. Due to the frigid temperatures, the organ was sounding almost 60 cents flat from A=440Hz. In combination with Laura Cetilia and Mike Bullock's intonationally flexible A=440 low string instruments and my A=444 quarter-tone accordion, this created a unique pitch landscape and dark atmosphere from which emerged three meditations on the ripples, pulsations, and slow transformations of memory." --Ben Richter"
