Marianne Osiel (vocals, guitar), Jennifer Maidman (bass), and Annie Whitehead (trombone) in performance, November 5, 2022, St. John's Church in Ellenville, New York for a program called "Rearranging Gravity"
Lise Worthington (Interfaith Minister) and Marianne Osiel (multi-instrumentalist) team up to create "Outside The Box", a sermon for everyone...written words by Lise, music and songs (including lyrics) by Marianne.
One of the outtakes from the album, "How The Light Gets In" (oboe, english horn, and keyboards), where Marianne left her oboe to favor acoustic slide guitar, playing in duet with Denman Maroney, prepared piano (hyperpiano) extraordinaire. This track could be featured in some unusual places....
Piece originally written for flute and harp or classical guitar. This is an actual performance that happened at Grace Church in Nyack, New York in 2003.
All tracks by Marianne Osiel, including vocal duet (anonymous, from medieval period), spoken word (poem by Rumi), and slide guitar ....what FUN to put this thing together on my 4-track CASSETTE recorder, finally learning it after everyone else went digital!!
One of the cuts from Marianne's oboe/English horn/keyboard CD, "How The Light Gets In", featuring all improvised music, in duet with four different types of keyboard players...this one with Jordan Rudess.
