Matthew Goodheart & Broken Ghost Consort - Five Apparitions (2024) [Hi-Res]

Matthew Goodheart’s latest release Five Apparitions is a collaborative composition combining live performers, electronics, and computer-controlled acoustic instruments. The album reconvenes the core trio Broken Ghost Consort, featuring clarinetist Georg Wissel, bassist George Cremaschi, and Matthew Goodheart's distinctive use of transducer-actuated metal percussion and piano. Over the course of five movements, the work explores a shifting mosaic of textures & interactions using algorithmic composition, improvisation, and performer choice. Using the technique of re-embodied sound, in which small surface speakers are attached to instruments thereby turning the instruments themselves into a kind of speaker, composer Matthew Goodheart orchestrates an evolving world of complex timbres that stands as a hybrid between electronic and acoustic music, performance, and sound installation.

Georg Wissel, clarinet
