Flutist Meerenai Shim will play an album release show for her fourth solo album, The Audacity. Meerenai will premiere two pieces by Brent Miller and Janice Misurell-Mitchell. Also on the program: “Whispers on the Wind” by The Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker and “Vermont Counterpoint” by Steve Reich.
The Audacity is Meerenai’s fourth solo album, and her first in ten years. She spent the last decade producing others’ recording projects and nurturing a micro record label, Aerocade Music, that is now a non-profit corporation.
The Audacity features multitracking and the use of the recording studio as a musical instrument. The compositions commissioned for this recording project also work well as pieces to be performed live. Brent Miller’s piece is for Korg drum machine and flute. Janice Misurell-Mitchell’s piece features the sampled lovely countertenor voice of Carl Alexander.
