PINK LION (2021)
After developing this project for several years, the full length album from Gianola’s collaborative duo with vocalist/composer Nora Jane Messerich was finally recorded in 2020. The dreamy sonic realm of Pink Lion (also the title of the project) occupies the album with intricate compositions for glass harp, electronics and strings embellishing Messerich’s haunting voice and the finesse of Gianola’s guitar work. The album was recorded at The Pearl Studio of New Orleans in July of 2020, produced and engineered by Forrest Reiff and mastered by Adam Keil in New Orleans.
Featuring Tristan Gianola (compositions, arrangements, guitar, electronics, mixing), Nora Jane Messerich (compositions, glass harp, vocal electronics, mixing), Forrest Reiff (Synthesizers), Sean Weber (Trombone), Gabrielle Fischler (Violin), Kurt Munstedt (Viola), Jennie Brent (Cello).
