about

Oxalis Triangularis stems from the resilience of artists to continue to create through a global pandemic. It is a testament to the flexibility and creativity possible through electroacoustic composition. Developed through a call for scores in the summer of 2020, Oxalis Triangularis (referring to a purple “false shamrock” whose scientific name is Oxalis Triangularis due to its triangle-like leaves) features 33 new works written specifically to be recorded in a fully remote setting. Over the course of three albums Apply Triangle not only showcases the innovative techniques of 33 living composers but also highlights the embodied cultural nuances inherent in each composer's style.

-

The 11 works on this volume give an introduction to Apply Triangle’s unique and creative style of performing with electronics, as well as a wide range of compositional voices. The compositions on this volume were all primarily recorded in 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each member of Apply Triangle recorded their parts individually without reference to the others’. These individual stems were then later mixed together with the electronic elements to create the finished piece.

The idea of “alone together” permeates throughout this album, as well as resilience within the artist community to continue to create during a global pandemic. The compositions range from sorrowful, earnest, nostalgic, angry, and meditative. Several compositions utilize spoken word, field recordings, and samples to compliment the colors of Apply Triangle’s instrumentation of flute, clarinet, and piano. Electronic processing of the acoustic instruments expand and distort AT’s sound, allowing for endless possibilities of sonic realizations.

Recording these works allowed me to feel connected again during a time of extreme loneliness. It gave me hope for a future and although at times the task seemed insurmountable, these compositions gave me the focus and energy to challenge myself like never before. These tracks are the fruits of our labor, given lovingly to you, and while we carry the scars of our past we continue forward to bloom in a brighter garden.

– Yoshi Weinberg
