Jack Prest - The Risk Of Hyperbole Vol. 2 CD

Art As Catharsis proudly presents The Risk Of Hyperbole - Vol.2 - Object, a tonally rich soundscape of chamber orchestrations and lush electronics, composed and produced by interdisciplinary artist Jack Prest.

The second instalment in The Risk Of Hyperbole trilogy, Vol.2 - Object showcases Prest’s penchant for sub bass drones, tape delay atmospheres and shimmering verbed out electronics. These immaculately produced sonics are elevated through improvisations by a chamber ensemble of top Australian classical and jazz musicians. Fans of the electro-acoustic work of; Nils Frahm, Floating Points, Jon Hopkins, Belle Orchestre, Bjork, will appreciate the attention Prest places on feeling and stylistic experimentation, shifting elegantly over the course of the record.

This album emerged while Prest was composing the score for his debut interdisciplinary performance work. Also titled The Risk Of Hyperbole, it premiered in a sold out season at the trend-setting Phoenix Central Park in late 2021. To create the score Prest spent a week working in a top flight recording studio with musicians; Claire Edwardes, Jason Noble and Freya Schack-Arnott (Ensemble Offspring), Dave Rodriguez (Godtet/Sampa The Great), Benjamin Freeman (Jonti, Dieyoungs), Nicholas Meredith (KCIN) and Jerrol Renaud (The Goods, Tones and I).
