Clarinetist Marianne Gythfeldt's "Only Human" is a collection of recordings of works with electronics written for her by colleague composers John Link, Mikel Kuehn, David Taddie, Elizabeth Hoffman, Eric Lyon, and Robert Morris. Featuring music involving fixed and live interactive electronics, these pieces demonstrate varying contexts within the electro-acoustic medium, from tightly interwoven dialogues between live and pre-recorded material to establishment of acoustic environments within which a soloist steps to the fore. Gythfeldt's virtuosic and sensitive performances are present throughout as a constant on this dynamic release. Clarinetist Marianne Gythfeldt, a native of Norway, has distinguished herself in chamber music, orchestral and contemporary music performance on the international stage. She is equally at-home in traditional, contemporary and alternative/cross-over genres, as a result of the extensive experience and training as clarinetist of Ensemble Sospeso and former member of the Naumburg award-winning group New Millennium Ensemble. Gythfeldt's exceptional ability with contemporary technique, and as a clarinetist who sings through the instrument with a traditionally beautiful tone, led to many collaborations with great soloists and musical innovators such as Alvin Lucier, Peter Serkin, Petr Kotik and the SEM Ensemble, Ursula Oppens, and Paquito D'Rivera. As co-founder of PG2, a sound-art duo, she collaborates with visual artist Ashley Pigford to design original audio-visual pieces for presentation at multimedia conferences.
