From a Stanford professor: Modern classical music with a sense of fun and quite a few pieces in a fast-moving but spare vein, quite action-packed. Mostly acoustic instruments in small groups, but some electronics apply on 8-10 and there's also the homemade mouseketier on 1. 1- Hard-edged, cartoony brass. Quiet percussion interludes for sound-sculpture: wooden sounds, twangy sounds, rattling. 2- Barking horns again, some strings as well. Sparse but active feel. 3- Percussion: rolling and dynamic. Ends quietly. 4- Stabbing percussion and piano, squawking clarinet. Abstract and fast-moving. 5- Sounds mostly improvised. Abstract criss-crossings of piano, flute, trumpet, with some pecking unison lines later 6- Mozart classical that gets increasingly weird and loud (but stays flowery). Crazy prepared piano stuff. 7- Solo trumpet, perky and dynamic. 8- Fast, active. Heavy in violin (lots of bow bouncing & other tricks) and bass clarinet. 9- Slow, dramatic washes of electronics. 11- Quiet electronics rustling; pecking, peppery piano comes in after a couple minutes 12- The lone orchestral piece. Busy and multifaceted, it slows down after a brisk start but still gives the feeling of a lot going on. | ||
