about

Texas-based Canadian composer MONICA PEARCE's debut full-length release presents a series of keyboard and percussion-driven chamber works each paying homage to the form and feel of a specific textile. Though she employs smaller instrumental forces throughout it, Textile Fantasies manages to showcase Pearce's uncanny ability to produce striking and evocative sonorities that seem to maximize her resources and impart an undeniable atmosphere to each composition. In addition to Pearce's abilities, this recording also features performances by leading Canadian musicians such as keyboardists Cheryl Duvall, Wesley Chen, Barbara Pritchard, and Joseph Ferretti, tabla player Shawn Mativetsky, as well as renowned ensembles TorQ Percussion and SHHH!! Ensemble.

***

Le premier album de MONICA PEARCE, compositrice canadienne basée au Texas, présente une série d'œuvres de musique de chambre au clavier et aux percussions, chacune rendant hommage à la forme et au toucher d'un textile spécifique. Bien qu'elle ait recours à de plus petites forces instrumentales, Textile Fantasies parvient à mettre en évidence l'étrange capacité de Pearce à produire des sonorités saisissantes et évocatrices qui semblent maximiser ses ressources et conférer une atmosphère indéniable à chaque composition. En plus des talents de Pearce, cet enregistrement présente également des performances de musiciennes et musiciens canadiens de premier plan telles que les pianistes Cheryl Duvall, Wesley Chen, Barbara Pritchard et Joseph Ferretti, le joueur de tabla Shawn Mativetsky, ainsi que les ensembles renommés TorQ Percussion et SHHH ! Ensemble.
