What Happens Has Become Now is Jessica Pavone’s fifth solo viola album and her fourth for Relative Pitch Records. Over the past twenty years, Pavone has been developing solo music based on the pitches of the open strings intended to accentuate the natural sympathetic resonances of her particularly loud viola. Over the years, she has incorporated and experimented with electronic effects to give herself a “partner” to play with and more texture to her compositions. This album features a track performed on the Sword Viola, one of the artist Ken Butler’s hand-crafted Hybrid Instruments.
Violist and composer, Jessica Pavone, explores the tactile and sensory experience of music as a vibration-based medium. Inspired by processes centered on intuition and instinct, her music channels these ideas by focusing on how music feels when played and heard, integrating her experiences as an instrumentalist into works that transcend time. Although her primary training was in classical music, Pavone has dedicated her practice to exploring alternative avenues for creative musical expression and “has made a career of redefining the possibilities for her instrument” (Steve Smith, National Sawdust Log).
Joe Lally, known for his work with Fugazi and The Messthetics, will be accompanying Jessica for a few songs on bass guitar.
