Trans Feminist Symphonic Music
by Gavilán Rayna Russom

Electronic musician Gavilán Rayna Russom’s Trans Feminist Symphonic Music could be her magnum opus. An entry in the ever-fascinating Longform Editions series, this 71-minute piece travels a globe-sized path of sounds, sights, and emotions. Through what the label terms “a meditation in five movements on synthesis and gender,” Russom explores minimalism, drone, and ambience, all in service of an abstract narrative that compels at every turn. The first 20 minutes alone, a pulsing space-bound synth pattern is masterful in its own right. But Russom only goes deeper from there, evoking everything from the vastness of an orchestra to the isolation of a single note. Trans Feminist Symphonic Music is the kind of work that takes many listens to absorb but only one to appreciate.
