Prepare to embark on a journey of sonic wonder with hear now berlin's debut album, MUSIC in CIRCLES. Featuring works by some of the most exciting composers of our time, this album is a celebration of music's boundless potential for human expression and emotion.
At the heart of the album lies Andrew Norman's Music in Circles, a work of breathtaking beauty that takes us on a mesmerizing journey through a hall of mirrors. With its symmetrical structure and recurring refracted scale motif, the piece invites us to contemplate the infinite and the eternal.
Gabriella Smith's Maré is a masterful exercise in organic evolution, as shimmering textures give way to ominous growls and ecstatic washes of sound. Caroline Shaw's Draft of a High-Rise is a work of stunning virtuosity and complexity, a musical kaleidoscope of sweeping melodies, warm harmonies, and jittery passages.
Nathan Schram's HNB is a true highlight of the album, a funky and full-throttle ride through feel-good soundscapes that demands the utmost from its virtuosic performers.
And hear now berlin's flutist and founder, Kelly Watson Woelffer, contributes her own powerful work, the (un)raveling, a reflection on the challenges of motherhood and creativity during the pandemic.
Throughout the album, the musicians of hear now berlin deliver performances of exquisite precision and emotional depth, capturing the full range of human experience, from fragility to risk, from simplicity to complexity.
