Sean McCann

Music for Public Ensemble (2LP)

Label: Recital

Format: LPx2

Genre: Sound Art

Out of stock

First full-length album by Sean McCann since 2013’s Music for Private Ensemble, built around a fascinating conceptual framework, spanning a wide array of aesthetic and conceptual ideas, many of them outside the field of music. Three years in the making, Public Ensemble employs the talents of many Recital allies; a mélange of voices and instruments: violin, viola, cello, contrabass, piano, bass clarinet, tenor saxophone, flute, trumpet, pedal steel, electronic keyboards (organ, farfisa, harpsichord), percussion, other sounds, tape, and a lamp. Many of the pieces include recited text; reflections stemming from McCann’s book Pacifics (R14). The narrative is meaningless or meaningful.
