The stunning video imagery for the work (edited by Daniel Polsfuss) is based on footage collected at three construction sites, including one in which an existing house was demolished to make room for construction of a new home on the same site. "At it's most angry, such as in "Welding" the music is fiery, at its most reflective, such as in "Very High", it almost sobs as notes punctuate the texture exquisitely." -Gramophone Available for purchase here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57193bb88259b5e997962dcd/1462106852643-7L3K326T3UYL2XWV0Y2X/Chamberhouse+cover.jpg CD Covers Chamberhouse Dream House remixed by DJs JamesPatrick and Neverwas Released by Sugarfoot Available for purchase here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57193bb88259b5e997962dcd/1462106863170-65DD0CAND5IC0WFVEXE8/Kilter+cover.jpg CD Covers Kilter Released by XI Records (1996) Performed by Guy Klucevsek (accordion), the SoHo Quartet, Anthony de Mare (piano), Kathy Supové (piano), Phillip Bush (piano), Dora Ohrenstein (soprano) "An enveloping and entrancing audio quilt composed of organic reeds, sylvan accordion, timepiece xylophone, seductive polyrhythms, and somewhat histrionic wordless vocals." -Twin Cities Reader Available for purchase here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57193bb88259b5e997962dcd/1462106693475-7Z3XVMJTRPCJVFNVO4TA/726708693626-front_cover.jpg CD Covers Documerica Performed by ETHEL string quartet Released by Innova (2015) Documerica was inspired by the Environmental Protection Agency's Project Documerica (1971), which commissioned photographers across America to document the state of the environment and its impact on society. This album features new work by ETHEL members and music commissioned from four uniquely American artists- acclaimed composer Mary Ellen Childs, Grammy Award-winning jazz drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr., Chickasaw Nation's Jerod Impichhaachaaha' Tate and West Point commission James "Kimo" Williams. Hailing from different regions, backgrounds and generations, each composer contributes his or her distinctive voice to a score that represents the diversity of America. The music explores a range of American genres—blues, jazz, Native American traditional, bluegrass, and old-time string band—filtered through a distinctly 21st-century lens.
