简介

Composer/guitarist Danielle O'Hallisey debuts her string trio Yellow Sky, featuring Elizabeth Reid on violin, Michael Close on cello, and Danielle playing 7-string classical guitar with guitar synthesizer. The music is difficult to characterize, drawing on composers as diverse as jazz legend Larry Coryell (with whom Danielle has studied), minimalists Ólafur Arnalds and Philip Glass and modern classical guitar composers, most notably Heitor Villa-Lobos. Inspired by the Dark Tower series of novels, O'Hallisey received permission from their author, horror master Stephen King, to use his words as the titles of each track. The arc of the pieces broadly follows that of the character, Jake, and is infused with the strange and wonderful universe of the series forming the backbone to the author's many works. Featured in this performance are fellow Vermont performers Michael Close and Elizabeth Reid. Their mastery of their instruments breaths life into these new works, capturing every soaring line, and every grunting effect. The guitar synthesizer is used judiciously, layered on top of the natural sound of the 7-string guitar. At times we are reminded of words attributed to Beethoven, after hearing a performance by Mauro Giuliani; "The guitar is a miniature orchestra!" Layered with synthesizers and soaring/searing lines and percussive chords by Close and Reid, the overall effect is at times at least that of an orchestra, at other times as intimate as the whispers of wind through a keyhole. *The titles of these tracks are quoted from various works of author Stephen King; used by permission.
