Clarice Jensen is a composer and cellist based in New York. As a solo artist, Clarice has developed a distinctive compositional approach, improvising and layering her cello through shifting loops and a chain of electronic effects to open out and explore a series of rich, drone-based sound fields. Pulsing, visceral and full of color, her work is deeply immersive, marked by a wonderful sense of restraint and an almost hallucinatory clarity. Meditative yet with a sculptural sharpness and rigor that sets it apart from the swathe of new age / DIY droners, she has forged a very elegant and precise vision. Her latest album Esthesis was released in October 2022 and NPR ranked it among the Best Experimental Albums of the Year. It is an album that finds a fine line between in-the-moment, tactile precision and lingering hallucinatory afterimages
