Jensen, Clarice - In holiday clothing, out of the great darkness

The showcases Jensen’s distinctive compositional approach, in which she improvises and layers her cello through shifting loops and a chain of electronic effects, exploring a series of rich, drone-based sound fields. Pulsing, visceral and full of colour, her work is deeply immersive, marked by a wonderful sense of restraint and an almost hallucinatory clarity.

Jensen sets new parameters for this album, placing the acoustic sound of the cello at the fore, and
affecting the sound only through a few effects (octave displacement, delay, tremolo and looping). “It felt
necessary to return to the rich acoustic sound of the cello that I've loved and produced for nearly my
entire life, and to return to an expression of emotion that's multi-dimensional and sincere,” she notes.
