about

New York-based composer/performer Andy Clausen is proud to share “Few Ill Words: Solo Trombone at The TANK, Vol. 1.” The release documents Andy playing in an acoustic environment that is truly one of a kind: The TANK Center for Sonic Arts, a seven-story converted railroad water silo in rural Colorado that has served for years as a performance space for exploratory artists of many stripes. Every note counts in this unusually resonant chamber, where notes can linger in the air for up to 45 seconds in the immersive reverberation. Vol. 1 pays homage to Andy’s heroes and mentors, bringing their music into The TANK and transforming it through imaginative site-specific interpretations.
