by "Blue" Gene TyrannyThis CD contains two compositions "Five More String Quartets" and "Early Winter," both of which are long, sustained sound universes which slowly change in pitch and timbre, redefining the form of the sonic space they simultaneously create and occupy. For example, in "Early Winter" for string quartet, multi-tracked bass flute, sampled and synthesizer voices and flute, harmonics slowly appear and vanish like the slow onset of winter weather. "Five More String Quartets" creates ghostly difference tones by the detuning/retuning of pitches from multi-tracked strings.
