Product Overview
Sarah Davachi - Two Sisters (2LP Indie Exclusive Dark Green LP 2LP) The new album from Sarah Davachi on her own Late Musicimprint is a collection of nine extended compositions for chamber ensemble and solo pipe organ. The expanded instrumentation on this album includes carillon (a keyboard instrument comprised of very large cast-iron bells), choir, string quartet, low woodwinds, and trombone quartet, alongside sine tones and electronic drones. Among the pipe organs featured on the album is an extremely rare Italian tracker organ from 1742, housed now in the Southwest desert region of the United States. Davachi is accompanied in these recordings by a formidable group of musicians and interpreters, including the Apartment House ensemble. Conceptually, there is a loose thread that runs through the compositional methods of ‘Two Sisters’, influenced by the allegory of ‘temperance’ in a minimalist aesthetic sense:“one foot on land, one foot in the water,” as it were, caught in the perpetual balance of restraint as delight and necessity.
