RSVP is requested at Eventbrite where you can also find directions to the venue. http://www.eventbrite.com/ What might seem like a strange combination of music genres is what makes Palen's music special. Her classical training combined with her love of heavy rock creates a uniquely personal sound for the young violinist. Label founder, Gregory James, a well known guitarist in his own right, first noticed Palen playing her soaring violin melodies on San Francisco streets. Intrigued by this confluence of sound, James asked her to perform in his own band and eventually signed her to Valence Records. Brought in to record this project was Grammy Award nominated engineer/producer Cookie Marenco. The music was recorded using the proprietary technique called Extended Sound Environment (E.S.E.). A collection of the finest microphones in the world were used to capture the natural depth, texture, and warmth of the performances and the sonics of the church. Behind the scenes was an experienced crew from Blue Coast Records and Super Audio Center who put together an audiophile remote recording studio that made use of the latest and most advanced digital recording technology called DSD (Direct Stream Digital). James, reflects: “Walking from my home on Russian Hill up to Grace Cathedral on Nob Hill each night for the recordings was a meditative experience. Dinner with Emily and the crew was like a movie set, or a mountain climb. This project was one of the coolest things I’ve done in life”. http://valencerecords.downloadsnow.net/ Palen began her musical career at the age of 4 under the guidance of her mother, a cellist and violin teacher. At 19, Palen was drawn to the ocean and moved to San Francisco after studying classical violin at the University of Michigan. In San Francisco she sought to play music closer to the heavy rock she listened to like Led Zeppelin, Tool, and Black Sabbath. In 2008, she won a contest that led to performing a Foo Fighter's song on the Grammy stage Her performance of "The Pretender" has drawn over 1.2 million views on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/ Later, Palen shared the stage with the Foo Fighters at Red Rocks Amphitheater, CO., at the invitation of band leader, David Grohl. http://www.youtube.com/ Released on CD and SACD, "Glass" can be purchased at Valence Records as a disc or high resolution downloads. This is one of the first native DSD recordings to be released as DSD audio downloads.
