Presences is a collaborative composition combining live performers, electronics, and computer-controlled acoustic instruments. Over the course of four movements, the work explores a shifting mosaic of textures and interactions using algorithmic composition, improvisation, and performer choice. Using the technique of reembodied sound, in which small surface speakers are attached to instruments thereby turning the instruments themselves into a kind of speaker, composer Matthew Goodheart orchestrates an evolving world of complex timbres that stands as a hybrid between electronic and acoustic music, performance, and sound installation. This recording feature's Goodheart's own international ensemble Broken Ghost Consort (with Georg Wissel, clarinet, and George Cremaschi, bass), expanded to include notable new music and improvisation artists Mathias Muche and Melvyn Poore.
