The first all electronic steel pan album ever created. Integrating the sounds of electroacoustic, ambient and beat-oriented works, fans of experimental music and modern steel pan music must hear this disc. You won't believe your ears.
Bio / Background
Since its humble beginnings on the streets of Trinidad, the steel pan has risen to international attention as one of the most unique and versatile percussion instruments in the world. The steel pan, also referred to as a steel drum, possesses a rich, somber, and oftentimes haunting sonority that can be heard in Calypso music, pop songs, concert works and most recently-- modern electronic composition.
"This album was created by distributing a recorded session of steel pan performance by pannist Darren Dyke. An array of composers from around the world digitally abstracted these sessions to create their own original compositions. With an impressive compendium presented here, the works on this record explore a variety of sonic spaces from textural ambience to aggressive and abrasive sound design.

"As you know, I love electroacoustic composition– the thrill of hearing often ordinary elements transformed into, or combined with, otherworldly sounds is endlessly fascinating to me; both for the fun of it, and for the increased perspective about these sounds that I benefit from. At their best, electroacoustic works reveal and highlight existing aspects of the original sound, and can ‘pull them away’ from the source to allow the listener an opportunity for examination. The multi-composer release “Resonance: Steel Pan in the 21st Century,” available through Quiet Design Records, contains many such works. I’m impressed by the ambitious set-up (source recordings of pannist Darren Dyke performing with an original Ellie Mannette steel pan, and source recordings of steel pan construction were provided to a variety of composers) and by the results– a surprising variety of compositions displaying facets of this instrument I had not imagined."
