Mix of abstract sound work and some avant-classical musicality. Tracks shift between crazy chamber music, fiercely improvised jazz, and semi-serious experimental vocals. Chaotic and frequently shrill – should appeal to anyone who’s into sound experiments. The CD is an amalgam of five concerts, apparently strung together to form a single virtual performance. 1- Fast clatter, into a quieter industrial sound palette 2- Clattering, clunking, strange whistles. Nonmusical. 3- Jungle percussion, a mid-fast rhythm. Dissolves into screechy chaos... is that a kazoo? 4*- Classical chaos, starts quiet and gets intense 5- Gentle voice and clashing, dissonant strings. Moves slowly. 6- Quiet, breathy flute & trumpet 7*- A slow, grand march backed by big dramatic piano chords. Dissonant. Ends with a crazy casbah dance. 8*- Avant jazz piano attack; bass clarinet joins later 9- Starts intense; becomes a series of sparse episodes. Intriguing but has lots of blank spaces 10*- Dramatic violins, like a tense movie score. Starts with cascading shrillness. 11- Mad swirling 12*- Dark, eerie. 13*- Crazy female vocals. Starts abstract; second half is a spirited cabaret tune 14- Crackly voice samples | ||
