Alextronica

Alex's upcoming electro-acoustic CD

 

Alex has been working on a new CD of several electronic mini-concertos, featuring a diverse range of pieces for the combination of multi-layered prerecorded electronic soundscapes and solo instruments, such as Deep, first heard on contrabassoonist Carolyn Beck's 2005 CD, Beck and Call. Alex has been composing electro-acoustic works for Italian violinist Antonio D'Andrea, Great Highland bagpiper Ian Whitelaw, double bassist Tom Peters, bass clarinetist Marty Walker, electric violinist Sabrina Ann Berger, pianist Teresa McCollough, contrabass flutist Peter Sheridan, and sitarist Hasu Patel. Adding to these works, Alex is collaborating with master 32-string veena player Shri. Thakur Chakrapani Singh of Delhi, India, on a set of his beautiful ragas. Their first completed piece is titled Chakra Suite.
