Blanche Starr by Mark Polscher

This is the first high-resolution digital release of “Blanche Starr”. The original version of this piece is a 4-channel sound installation for electronic music with interposed sound scenes. The work was commissioned by the Ernst Barlach Foundation Güstrow on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. The premiere took place at the opening of the exhibition “Ernst Barlach - The Man Who Hears the Secret Melodies” at the Ernst Barlach Museum Güstrow, Germany on May 25, 2014. The installation was projected several times a day for the duration of the two-month exhibition.
In June, Polscher produced a stereo version of “Blanche Starr”, which was then released on CD and as an MP3 download via the record label newhearland in November 2014 and is still available. A microsite including a video for “Blanche Starr“ was launched to accompany the release. https://www.blanchestarr.com.
