Washington State University tuba Professor Chris Dickey recently released their fourth solo album, titled “Panorama,” under the WSU Recordings Label.
“When I think of performing, I immediately envision playing with other musicians in the same space. In the pandemic, this wasn’t possible,” Dickey said. “In my career, I have rarely performed unaccompanied music or music with electronics. Recording this project all by myself forced me out of my comfort zone. In the summer of 2020, I made myself a promise that I would keep preparing music at a high level just as I was expecting my students to do.”
The album was recorded and produced while adhering to WSU’s COVID-19 mitigation protocol.
