Black Glass Ensemble is a British collective that reveals new music for the anthropocene in the margins of classical and experimental music. Arise From the Twilight is the new album which is out via omnempathy.
According to the press release, These recordings combine signals from mixing desk output and ambient microphone placement. Elements of the performance were conducted with no amplified signal. Consequently, these brief passeages appeared only on the ambient signal and are correspondingly quiet.
