Jim Fox
The City Wind Swept Away

Single US 2004 on Cold Blue Music label
Electronic (Modern Classical, Minimal)

The City is a haunting single-movement piece for trombones, strings, and piano. It’s fragile music of rarefied and quietly rumbling harmonies that, like drifting clouds, seem to float in and out of “view.” Music that is both motionless and moving forward with a strange sense of inevitability. “Beautiful and evocative work.” —John Schaefer, WNYC, New Sounds “Though just under 23 minutes, The City the Wind Swept Away…seems to linger in the air (and the ear) much longer. Delicate and open throughout.” —Molly Sheridan, NewMusicBox (American Music Center) “Attentiveness to the integrity of slowly passing sound events can be a strangely moving experience. It is so here.” —Int’l Record Review (UK)
