about

Polarity is a collaborative album between Pathos Trio, and composers Ian Chang, Phong Tran, Andrew M. Rodriguez, Vicente Hansen Atria, Paul Mortilla, and Clara Warnaar. The album is dedicated to presenting newly commissioned works for two percussionists, piano, and electronics with accompanying music videos produced by Philadelphia based production company FOUR/TEN MEDIA (of which can be seen if you purchase a physical copy of the album the day of the release).

Serving as a successor to Pathos Trio's first album When Dark Sounds Collide the commissions on Polarity seeks to further push the boundaries of combining aesthetics of contemporary classical music with Pathos’ interests in dark, heavy, dense sounds from other genres of music such as alternative rock, progressive/black metal, minimalist, and electronic synthwave music.

What makes this album different aesthetically from their first album, is the inclusion of electronic components to each piece on this album. Whether that be through usage of electronic instruments in combination with acoustic sounds, doing live electronics in real time, or using pre-recorded/pre-made tracks that accompany the ensemble, their goal was to create truly unique pieces of music that will engage, challenge, and appeal to audiences in both mainstream and classical/new music worlds.

Felix Reyes, percussion
Marcelina Suchocka, percussion
Will Healy, piano

Audio recorded on January 23rd-24th, 2023 at Oktaven Audio LLC in Mount Vernon, NY.
