Instrumentaion: Electronic

Imagine the clarinet like you've never heard it before--elevated by cutting-edge technology and taking flight to new, uncharted frontiers. With THE DAWN OF THE BICAMERAL CLARINETIST, clarinet virtuoso Dr. Gary Dranch offers an extraordinary exploration of the pivotal era between 1968 and 1979, when portable synthesizers first made their way onto the concert stage. This Navona Records release sheds light on the clarinet's development in a time shaped by the Space Age, when composers, inspired by technological advances, crafted a unique collaboration between electronic devices and live musicians. The album title reflects this groundbreaking synergy, where the clarinetist merges with the digital realm, leading audiences into strange and beautiful new dimensions. Featuring rare live recordings and a thrilling fusion of jazz, rock, and classical influences, THE DAWN OF THE BICAMERAL CLARINETIST captures the essence of this transformative period with striking clarity and depth. If your interests lie in the intersection of technology and art, this album is sure to make a positive and enduring impression.

Uruguayan-born American Sergio Cervetti is sure to please listeners with MORTAL DREAMS, his ninth album with NAVONA. Cervetti, who, on previous releases, has firmly established himself as one of the most unique voices in contemporary serious music, again delivers electro-acoustic compositions that can be counted as some of his best in the genre.
