cmntx records presents Zachary James Ritter celebrating his new record 'care', and Orange Road Quartet preview their forthcoming debut album
cmntx records presents:
Zachary James Ritter celebrates his new record 'care' – a collection of songs and ambient soundscapes about anxiety and actualization, about being stuck in survival mode and finding a way out of it. About wanting to take care of someone you love and not knowing how. About rest — honest, deep, necessary rest — and what it takes to actually get there.
The album moves between lo-fi and ambient worlds buit from layers of vocal processing–and that range is deliberate. He has spent years working in contemporary classical music and live ambient performance, and Care finds a way to hold both of those practices at once. The result is something that feels both crafted and unhurried — tracks that reward close listening but never demand it. Put it on and let it do its work.
Zach will be joined by Orange Road Quartet, who will perform a set previewing their upcoming debut record "Tales from the Orange Road", beginning with window of tolerance by Zachary James Ritter, based on psycholgoist Dr. Dan Siegel's concept of the same name. The work journeys through three stages of the anxious mind—freeze, hypervigilance, and equilibrium. From the album, they will also perform Erich Bargainer's unrelenting fiddling-meets-metal-meets-minimalism Apocrypha of the Eastern Ranges, and Theodore Haber's Last Long Year , which will be accompanied by dancers. Additionally, the quartet will be premiering a brand new work by Meira Warshauer, Compassion.
This concert will be held in the Community Living Room (downstairs) at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.
