Jonathan Nangle - Pause (2017) [Hi-Res]

"Pause," the debut album by Dublin-based composer Jonathan Nangle, features a collection of electroacoustic string compositions performed by the Crash Ensemble. The work is defined by a serene focus, fragile textures, and the subtle integration of electronic resonators and processing. Central to the album are explorations of digital glitches, asymmetrical repetitions (tessellations), and the recontextualization of early 20th-century motifs. The release highlights Nangle’s multidisciplinary expertise, bridging the gap between contemporary classical notation and experimental electronic improvisation through a sophisticated and evocative sonic palette.
