Ro(b)//ert Lundberg - by-passing-upon - Cassette

by-passing-upon is the latest addition to the ongoing work of bassist and composer Ro(b)//ert Lundberg. Built from a palette of double bass, cello, clarinet, drums, synthesizer, masking tape, and water-filled vessels, the piece merges sonorous ambient tones with driving rhythms and flowing, bubbling patterns. Prompted by a score both graphic and notated, as well as stage props including multi-colored tape, ladders, a kettle, and beach balls, Lundberg’s ensemble realizes a work existing in the fluid space between pre-composed and improvised music. 01 - pooling 102 - flowing 103 - pooling 204 - flowing 2 double bass & composition: Ro(b)//ert Lundbergcello & synthesizer: Lia Kohlbass clarinet & synthesizer: Jeff Kimmelpercussion: Sam Scrantonwater objects & tape: Jasmine Mendoza, Nina Vroemen, Zachary Nicolmovement direction: Nina Vroemen recorded live at Constellation by Nolan Chinmixed & mastered by John Dieterichalbum design & layout by Matthew Sage, materials b
