about

Music for oboe, oboe d’amore and English horn with electronics, field recordings and fixed media by Canadian and American composers residing in the Pacific Northwest
Remote Together is a musical exploration of metamorphosis, taking the listener on a compelling, evolutionary journey, responsive to pandemic culture. Beautifully cathartic, explorative and timely, the album offers a wide variety of unexpected sonic appeal as the pieces thoughtfully integrate the oboe, oboe d’amore and English horn with field recordings. Featuring the music of Canadian and American composers residing in the Pacific Northwest, the album begins in familiar territory surrounding a lush, Baroque-inspired melody, and then travels through previously uncharted sound worlds in which Lee interacts with the unlikely but welcome partners of renaissance chant, falling rain, zither, and microtonal shift. As the co-creator of the final piece, Lee provides a gorgeous culminatory exploration of the lifecycle of the bombyx mori (domestic silk moth), showcasing the beauty and power of metamorphosis, and offering insight, perspective and possibility around the ways in which our human existence and work have changed during this time of seclusion. The majority of these pieces were specifically composed for her and each incorporates varying degrees of improvisation, making each performance unique.
