The Luna Ensemble
The Luna Ensemble consists of seven members dedicated to the creation and performance of contemporary music that involves acoustic, electric and electronic instruments.
Based in Oakland, CA, the group comprises improvisers, sound artists and composers that began collaboration at Mills College between 2011 and 2013. The main focus of the ensemble is the translation of sounds of the environment into music through experimental notation, extended instrumental techniques, improvisational strategy, and electronically manipulated field recordings.
The Luna Ensemble exists at an intersection of musique concrète, spectralism, improvisation and American experimentalism.
Members of the group include:
Rachel Condry (clarinet),
Nava Dunkelman (percussion), Christopher Luna (piano/keyboards), Aaron Oppenheim (electronics),
Crystal Pascucci (cello), Jacob Peck (electric guitar), Jeanie-Aprille Tang (electronics), and
Jennifer Wilsey (percussion).
