Clarice Jensen is a contemporary composer and cellist whose musical expressions traverse the realms of ambient, classical and the avant-garde. Her work is characterized by a profound depth and a unique approach to her instrument, often incorporating electronic manipulation and multi-layered textures that extend the cello's traditional sound palette. Jensen is the artistic director of ACME (American Contemporary Music Ensemble), a position that underscores her involvement with new music.

The pieces "Mirror 10," "Step Step Step," and "August Dreams" exemplify her sophisticated take on composition and her commitment to exploring the boundaries of her instrument's sonic possibilities. Releases like "SLEEP: Tranquility Base" showcase her interest in immersive soundscapes designed to induce a meditative state. With "Paradise #9," "Esthesis," "Disliking," "Joy," and "The Liberation of Walter Moon," Jensen continues to build her identity as a solo artist and collaborator, engaging listeners with evocative narratives and aural experiences that both challenge and enchant. Her work often resonates with emotional intensity, enveloping audiences in a tapestry of sound that reflects a deep understanding of the cello's expressive capabilities, extended through her innovative use of technology.
