A former student of Jonty Harrison and Denis Smalley – two important figures of the British electroacoustics school – Natasha Barrett integrates the approach of these two composers into a proposition which recalls both sound ecology and properly abstract composition. Isostasie is full of these poetic, disconcerting environments, impressionistic pictures of various formats, evocative of her country of adoption, Norway. In this CD, one will encounter various meteorological happenings, the midnight sun, «Red Snow» (a phenomenon due to the growth of algae or diatoms), as well as an ode to the forest, «Viva la Selva!» Plenty of illustrations and impressions of the Norwegian landscape, postfaced with an «exploration of spatial musical structure» («The Utility of Space»), all fabricated with utmost delicacy by a young composer with an attuned ear, of whom this is the third album already (following two self-produced CDs, «Rocks & Wraiths» and «Chillies & Shells».)
Compositrice anglaise née en 1972, élève de Jonty Harrison et Denis Smalley, elle vit et travaille à Oslo en Norvège.
