Postcards from Quarantine

Like many artists during this time of seclusion, we’ve looked for ways to maintain creative communication while remaining physically apart. Again like many other artists, we’ve turned to email dialogue and file exchange.

Postcards from Quarantine I and II are virtual collaborations in which improvisations for acoustic cello and objects were laid over initial recordings of improvised performances for prepared double bass and double bass.

Ten Lines (for Gary Rouzer) is a graphic score Barbiero composed for Rouzer to interpret in any way he wished. For this realization, Rouzer recorded a series of parts for acoustic cello and various objects and surfaces, which he then arranged by using the score as a visual guide for assembling sounds.

Recorded March and May, 2020 in Silver Spring, MD and Alexandria, VA. Postcards from Quarantine I and II mixed in Silver Spring.
Ten Lines (for Gary Rouzer) recorded, assembled and mixed in Alexandria VA.
