Concert: Alternating Currents Live presents Emily Rach Beisel

Alternating Currents Live presents Emily Rach Beisel celebrating their new album, Sumptuous Branching. 

Emily Rach Beisel is a Chicago-based improviser, composer, educator, curator, and woodwind specialist whose work is celebrated for its visceral intensity and innovative blend of techniques.  Beisel’s 2023 solo album, Particle of Organs, has been described as “heavy stuff, sounds retrieved from the deeper places—the underworlds, the lightless subterranea . . . a raw, abrasive, oppressive, and thrilling journey.” ()   

Beisel’s music centers on the bass clarinet and incorporates voice, electronics, extended techniques, and other wind instruments creating a complex and nuanced soundscape in which the origins of sounds are often obscured.
