about

Resonance is the 1995 release by Canadian born electroacoustic music composer Shawn Pinchbeck and American born flute player/ composer Marion Garver. Together they create a powerfully crafted mixture of ambient electronic sounds and flute accompanied melodies and textures.

Pinchbeck and Garver share the song credits through the ten tracks and 65 minutes of music. The resulting hybrid of sounds ranges from Pinchbeck's multi-layered synthesizers, samples and tapes spinning sometimes peaceful ambient melodies, sometimes brooding abstract soundscapes; to Garver's three acoustic instrumental pieces exploring differing musical directions rooted in 20th Century classical and jazz styles. The effect it has is to take the listener on an expansive journey with many destinations, some familiar others more exotic.

Two pieces on this CD, Endangered Spaces and Transformation No. 1, incorporate field recordings made by Pinchbeck and sound engineer Garth Hobden at various endangered natural areas throughout Alberta. These pieces are his addition to the growing Acoustic Ecology movement that is exploring our disappearing natural soundscapes.

Resonance was released in 1995 to rave reviews and garnered much media attention, an entire page was dedicated to it in the Billboard Guide to Progressive Music by Bradley Smith. Several pieces from this CD have appeared in concerts at the Edmonton New Music Festival, New Works Calgary, The Banff Centre, received broadcast nationally many times in Canada on the CBC and campus radio, and on national radio in many other countries. The Sand, The Sea, The Stars appeared on Canadian national TV in a commercial promoting wildlife preservation for the organization BearWatch. Many songs on this CD appeared in various independent films including the award winning documentary The Corporation, which has shown on TV and in cinemas worldwide.

Also appearing on this CD are pianist Roger Admiral, oboist Jane Alexander, clarinetist Robert Seymour and guitarist/composer Michael Turner of The Sensualists/Titania.
