Solo
CDs by electronic composers, new and
old, whose work give us the feeling
of shiny generosity and warmth.
These works are fully "musical" in their harmonic
range and rhythmic constructs (with or without backbeat), yet they
are also fully developed ideas (a rare bird).
These
CDs contain a vague idea of narrative
using meditative compositional techniques,
which are to be read like a book. Oppositional audio techniques,
such as improvisation vs. composition, digital vs. acoustic, weave
expressively around each other within
the landscape of composition.
They
are works that open a door and step
back so you can come in for a warm drink. We know their stories,
we would like you to know them as well.
