The small vocal ensemble Ekmeles cheekily takes its name from a term in ancient Greek music theory, meaning "tones inappropriate for musical use." Most of the sounds still fit that description, but Ekmeles executes them with consummate musicality. A substantial part of Ekmeles' work here was done before any recording equipment was turned on; the group chose a truly striking collection of new pieces, some of them newly commissioned, all of them different, all of them extremely demanding technically, and all of them hanging together well as a group. As for the execution, samplers can plunge in immediately with the first track, the Primo Libro of James Weeks. As the title suggests, these are madrigals, 17 of them, sung without a pause for various numbers of voices. The piece is written in 31-Division Equal Temperament, a tuning proposed by the Renaissance theorist Nicolà Vicentino that results in especially brilliant thirds, both major and minor. These are exploited by the composer, and needless to say, they require iron intonational control from the singers. Elsewhere on the program are other extended techniques. Zosha Di Castri's title work sets poems by Sappho and includes body percussion and vocal glissandi, while Hannah Kendall's this is but an oration of loss mixes music and speech in a memorial to Africans killed on a slave transport ship. Body percussion recurs in Erin Gee's four-movement Mouthpiece 36, while Shawn Jaeger's love is, to a text by bell hooks, explores sharply shifting wide and close intervals. Jeffrey Gavett's Waves uses an instrument at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oliver Beer's Vessel Orchestra, that no longer exists. The entire performance is a high-wire act, and it is splendidly recorded, often with the composers themselves as producers, at suburban New York's Oktaven Audio; one has the feeling that care was taken at every turn. A marvelous release for fans of contemporary vocal music and even for those who say they don't like contemporary music.
