Ruminations - Pam's new album of electroacoustic music

Get Ruminations on Bandcamp today!

Orchestral but slightly warped

Most of the tracks have an orchestral sound, slightly warped to evoke mysterious and resonant soundscapes. I've also resurrected a track from the 1980s made on the Kurzweil 250. A vintage synth now!

Contemplative and intriguing, calm but with some ruffles. Several tracks are musical miniatures, including a 30-second whirling dance. For the final track, you can relax into a hypnotic meditation, which occasionally sounds like a chill Bolero.

Social action too

Let's support artists in this pandemic time. I will donate 50% of proceeds in April and May to the New Music Solidarity Fund at New Music USA. Help me help our fellow artists whose livelihoods have disappeared when there are no concerts.

Recent Projects

Angel Music for violin & piano, with themes from my choral music Shepherds & Angels.

Three movements:
Memory, Dreams, Joy

Shepherds & Angels is American Christmas folk song, but this is soulful & happy music for any recital. S&A interludes become the 3 movements, mixing modal & chromatic melodies, snappy rhythms, dense harmonies.

I'll make a demo ASAP!
