New track on my Bandcamp site - Piano Music - First Movement is the first composition from a new body of work focusing on the Piano. It brings together several recordings of improvised piano playing, which are reworked, reshaped electronically and juxtaposed.
All the sounds originate from the piano, which is the only sound source used for this composition.

Re-release of my VOICE STUDIES tape  

With this review by Joe Posset

 

From this most delicate throat sprouts beautiful sonic ferns and gaseous air bubbles, both as peaty as twelve year Island malt.

Lou Reed once spoke about wanting to make music for adults. Sharon Gal makes adult music alright; confident and self-assured yet wise enough to be humble.

This music knows its place in a wild, wild world. It asks for no favour, no razzmatazz, and presents itself honestly and with quiet nobility.

Mouth and breath, teeth, lips and tongue combine in complex arrangements. A shiver of electronics adds an otherworldly glimmer. While side one focuses on dolphin communication reversing into a darkly muttered hex side two is (in it’s entirety) the topography of that worried gasp you make as the sea slowly closes over your head. File under adult indeed.
