about

“Tiny Thunder” is an album that presents two of Chase’s entrancing recent piano works—the meditative solo “Zuòwàng” and the more virtuosic piano-four-hands piece “Tiny Thunder.” Held in motion by a keen sense of internal logic, these pieces drift and weave through alluring, often serene musical landscapes. Both pieces are performed by pianist Bryan Pezzone.

Nicholas Chase has headlined festivals in Europe and the US as a composer and a performer. His music has been commissioned and performed by the Long Beach Opera, the Philadelphia Classical Symphony, the California E.A.R Unit, New Zealand’s 175 East, and numerous international soloists. His interactive, site-specific composition “NOVA: Transmission” was exhibited as part of the Whitney Biennial in New York, and his “Ngoma Lungundu” opened the New Music+ Festival at the Janaĉek Academy, Czech Republic. He was an inaugural Composer Fellow at the international Other Minds Festival in San Francisco and in 2015 was honored by the International Center for Japanese Culture, Tokyo. As a producer he has produced music of Annie Gosfield, Anne LeBaron, the California E.A.R. Unit, Mark Menzies, Morton Subotnick, and others. Cold Blue Music has released one previous album of Chase’s music, “Bhajan” (CB0046).

Chase‘s music has been described as “brilliant” (The Strad); “brawling yet taut” (Los Angeles Times); “crackling, witty” (Albuquerque Journal); “quietly provocative…compelling” (Textura); “powerful…spectacular” (Whittier Press); and “the human brain at its most imaginative” (LA Weekly).
