Breath & Hammer by David Krakauer & Kathleen Tagg
Year Released: 2020 | Record Label: Table Pounding Records | Style: Alternative Classical/World/Jazz "For this album, we created the raw material by recording thousands of our own clarinet and piano sounds. We then wove together extended techniques and our completely untreated samples to create a large scale quasi-orchestral tapestry. No other instruments or samples are used, and many of the pieces are made up of 40 or more layers of prepared “piano orchestra” and clarinet. Fundamentally, Breath & Hammer is about connections between people and a celebration of identity through music." www.krakauertaggmusic.com PRESS FOR BREATH & HAMMER Bandcamp and iTunes!

Where Worlds Collide by Kathleen Tagg and Andre Petersen
Year Released: 2017 | Record Label: Table Pounding Records | Style: Jazz/Classical/World Music In this unique two-piano album featuring two of South Africa's leading pianists, original compositions live alongside music by some of the giants of South African jazz. This project is Pan-African in influence, though very much rooted in a South Africa. For this recording, every one of those influences comes into play- classical training and structure, jazz improvisation, polyrhythmic influences, extended techniques, goema and the sound of selected sub-Saharan African instruments. This is a project that is Pan-African in vision, but chamber music in scale. The pianos are used in traditional and non-traditional ways to achieve a wealth of sounds from the inside the piano by using organic extended techniques such as plucking, stopping the strings and bowed piano. http://www.taggpetersenduo.com PRESS FOR WHERE WORLDS COLLIDE Personnel: Kathleen Tagg & Andre Petersen, pianos |
