Curator — Volume Two, Drop 1

Contributed “Love Song”, then introduced Adjuster66 and Grey Mcmurray.

Their Contribution

“Love Song”

Clarice Jensen: cello & electronics

“Love Song samples the sound of raccoons in mating season along the Hudson River, and 4 seconds of Willie Nelson’s ‘Hands on the Wheel.’ A melodic diad moves separately and together, expressed via cellos that are layered and distorted, in a bed of variably pulsing drones and arpeggios.”

Clarice Jensen is a composer and cellist based in New York who graduated with a BM and MM from the Juilliard School. As a solo artist, Jensen has developed a distinctive compositional approach, improvising and layering her cello through shifting loops and a chain of electronic effects to open out and explore a series of rich, drone-based sound fields. Her music has been described by Self-Titled as “heavily processed, incredibly powerful neo-classical pieces that seem to come straight from another astral plane.”

Guest Artists on This Drop

Every curator brings two more voices into the volume. These are theirs.

Guest Artist

Adjuster66

“Metal Flower”

Jamie Muhoberac: keyboards

“This piece is simply made to escape to another place. Showing something small and beautiful, then pulling the camera back to show a harsher environment where it lives. Surrounded in a habitat where everything’s stronger than we’ll ever be.”

Adjuster66 is Jamie Muhoberac, a Los Angeles based session and touring keyboard player since 1988, with credits on over 1000 albums, including records by My Chemical Romance, The Rolling Stones, John Mayer, Seal, Bob Dylan, and Dave Matthews. The music he makes as Adjuster66 is a complete departure from those endeavors.

Guest Artist

Grey Mcmurray

“Before I Knew You Were Here”

Grey Mcmurray: piano, drum machine, guitars, wurlitzer, voice, bass

“Echoes and memories, clear eyes or confusion, the multitudinous sea I'm either in or near, can be more comforting coming from the tapestry of a stranger's voice than my own. It's good to remember danger and hope in one breath.”

Guitarist and singer Grey Mcmurray has been called “simultaneously chilling and moving” (The Deli Magazine). He has performed and recorded with artists including Gil-Scott Heron, Meshell Ndegeocello, Tyondai Braxton, Colin Stetson, and John Cale, among others.
