Tuning the Wind – Grand River
Berlin-based Dutch-Italian composer Aimée Portioli created Tuning the Wind in 2022 as an installation piece., but since then, it has been adapted into multichannel, 4DSOUND, and stereo installations, as well as performed live on numerous occasions around the world, and now this full-length release. For 36 minutes and 15 seconds reworked recordings of wind become a prepared instrument of sorts and mesh with synthesizers to become a natural symphony.
Primer – Hainbach & Ensemble Modern
I found out about Hainbach through his popular niche YouTube channel. On Primer, the Berlin-based composer collaborated with Ensemble Modern, and uses what put his channel on the map–nuclear research equipment and magnetic tape loops–to create ever shifting electronic compositions.
