E I : XI RECORDS

New Releases The Live One by Tom Chiu on XI Records XI Records is very pleased to announce the release of Tom Chiu’s new double-CD The Live One, a diverse and thoroughly engrossing album that showcases the multiple facets of Chiu’s visions. Chiu is a polymath who is as comfortable with lyricism and the beauty of tonality as he is with process-based works and challenging conventions of composition. Chiu specializes in creating spatial experiences and altered states of mind with his music, with a singular, questing path. He is a gifted improviser and explores conventional playing, extended techniques, and working with technology with equal ease, sometimes all embodied in the same piece. ......More Info
NuDaf by Phill Niblock on XI Records A 65-minute electroacoustic composition featuring Dafne Vicente-Sandoval, bassoon "The aural effect is minimal to the max, but it isn't simplistic. The tones vibrate and glow, the densely packed texture shifting hues like a sonic aurora borealis" -- John Rockwell, The New York Times NuDaf (2020) is the 2nd longest piece in Niblock’s repertoire of recorded audio works. NuDaf is a departure from his previous pieces in that he makes extensive use of multiphonics and constructed the work with fewer tracks than usual, creating uniquely transparent and ephemeral textures. The piece is the result of a collaboration between Niblock and the stellar bassoonist Dafne Vicente-Sandoval. Her musicality and breadth of knowledge, extended bassoon performance, and uncanny timing inspired the piece. ......More Info
Sonance for the Precession by Neil Leonard on XI Records Excerpts from a sound installation based on alto saxophone recordings and electronic sound. “Mr. Leonard creates a haunting, rhythmic, chantlike score, secular spiritual music for a New World. After leaving the gallery I kept hearing it, with delight, in my head, on the street, all afternoon.” Holland Cotter (The New York Times) The electroacoustic composition Sonance for the Precession was commissioned by Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA). The piece furthers Leonard's practice in large scale sound installation, with recent commissions by documenta, Venice Biennale, and Fujiko Nakaya of Experiments in Art at Technology. ......More Info
