Rachel’s – Systems/Layers (2003, US)
Our next spotlight is on number 269 on The List, submitted by HerbT. This is the final album from Rachel’s, a post-classical/indie chamber project from Louisville, Kentucky started in 1991 by guitarist Jason Noble (formerly of post-hardcore band Rodan). The album was created in collaboration with a theatre company, SITI, for a production of the same name, the music born out of improvisational sessions where the musicians responded to what the actors were doing on stage. The result is breathtaking.
