JUST RHODES has been four years in the making. The first idea came from Craig Shepard, while listening to Larry Polansky’s Piano Study #5. It began with a full restoration of a Rhodes electric piano: Hammers, damper arms, damper felts, tone bar screws and grommets were all replaced. Electronics soldered, and the keys squared and leveled. Then the instrument was voiced.
Players from Manhattan School of Music’s Contemporary Performance Program (CPP) join with Mise-En Place to present a concert of new works by Ariana Varvaro, Amber Dai, Tiffany Leard, Joe DeAngelo, Lauren Galarraga, Mihail Babus and Grace Goss, performed by the premier Tactus Ensemble.
Fri, Nov 21~ ALBUM RELEASE
In 2022, Kelsey Mines and I recorded a series of sax/bass vignettes that feature these instruments in striking combinations and registers. At long last, an album of these tracks has surfaced, taking the form of a wave on a Northern body of water, deep-diving into the ocean’s basement, and finding blue sparks of light in its darkest corners. Recorded by Jason Rostkowski (GSI Studios, Manhattan). Mixed/mastered by Weasel Walter. From Relative Pitch Records. Pre-orders available now Digital / CD (Bandcamp)
