Album US 2011 on Innova Recordings label
Electronic and Classical (Modern Classical, Musique Concrète, Experimental, Contemporary)
The first piece is a Violin Concerto featuring the musical wunderkind, Ben Bowman. Mr. Bowman soars, bops and weaves over an alternately ominous and ecstatic shrinking/claustrophobic CPU landscape which consists of all things Chinese (including a famous ancient Chinese melody as the cantus firmus). It eventually morphs into the tragic irony of 70’s, western, 4 on the floor, disco. In the end it’s a melancholic commentary on western hegemony. The second work is a Flute Concerto, featuring the seasoned, uber-virtuoso, Doug Stewart. He nimbly leaps, dodges, and swirls around three mashed George Gershwin songs in a quasi, dirty-thirties dream world. The real raison d’être of this piece is it’s hell bent on blurring the numbers 2 and 3 in a beyond-human range of tempos.
