Bleep

Four very different recordings of Alvin Lucier’s 2016 piece for solo glockenspiel are compiled for release by Black Truffle (Oren Ambarchi, Keiji Haino). Ricochet Lady was composed in collaboration with Trevor Saint, one of the world’s leading (only?) experimental glockenspiel players, and Saint’s knowledge of the instrument is what gives Ricochet Lady its power. Performed in four different environments - a university rehearsal hall, a chapel, an empty forge and a cement grain elevator to be exact - these recordings of Ricochet Lady range from intimate to widescreen depending on the setting.
