Kara-Lis Coverdale completes her 2025 album trilogy with »Changes In Air«, a work for electric organ, modular synthesis, and piano shaped by five materials: wood, water, sun, glass, and metal.
»Changes In Air« is a work for electric organ, modular synthesis, and piano in five sections. The album was adapted from a work originally written for installation at Skarven in Oslo, a floating sauna facing the expansive fjord which is heated by wood fire and solar radiation. Five »materials« influence the album's arrangements: wood, water, sun, glass, and metal. Coverdale composed, played, and recorded »Changes In Air« alone in Marquette (Montreal) in 2019 and completed it this year.
Known for her musical innovations at the intersection of experimental electronics and minimalist traditions, Coverdale’s releases have garnered acclaim for their deep exploration of timbre. This year’s trilogy of albums released by Smalltown Supersound are Coverdale’s first major new works since »Grafts« (2017), »Aftertouches« (2015, Sacred Phrases), and »A 480« (2014, Constellation Tatsu).
