Madam Orange is the duo project of bass clarinetist Emily Beisel and drummer/percussionist Bill Harris. Beisel and Harris combine their respective sonic worlds into a project that often sounds like far more than two people playing, pushing toward the outer limits of heavy improvisation, rhythmic interlock, amplification, and feedback. Their music moves fluidly between dense, aggressive intensity and spacious, highly sensitive textures, driven by a near-telepathic musical connection and a shared interest in extending acoustic instruments through electronics. Their debut album is available now, and as I wrote in my review, I find it quite fascinating. I wanted to learn more about it, and Beisel and Harris were kind enough to answer questions about it via email. Our conversation is below.
