BlackCopper Editions
A New Label for Improvised Music
eXcavations
BlackCopper Editions 2015
Thea Farhadian - Violin
Klaus Kürvers - Bass
Twelve short free improvisations or "musical miniatures" that blend the raw edge of sound, evoking the sense of the past & blending sounding structures with minimalism and traces of harmonic interplay. eXcavations presents a rusty, almost "archival" musical collection with a fresh sound pointed in a new direction.

BlackCopper Editions 2015
Dean Santomieri - Guitar
Thea Farhadian - Violin
Structured, free, and idiosyncratic improvisations for resonator guitar and violin, employing alternative tunings and preparations. These pieces present a wide expressive range, incorporating the edge of contemporary classical music with catchy rhythms, colorful timbres, and iridescent microtonalities.
