dogs in english porcelain available for preorder

Dogs in English Porcelain is a composition for electronics, field recordings, viola, violin and cello.It was created with many layers of very quiet elements that advance and recede, forming the episodic structure of the piece. The overlapping of electronic and environmental sounds with extended technique and traditional playing disturbs the boundaries separating the natural and artificial, the intentional and the incidental. The counterpoint and rapid changes between sections add to the nonlinear feel, keeping the listener in a state of acute alertness. In this world, the chamber becomes the meadow but also the alley and the suburban street.

Bright Duplex- Strawberry Trust CDr

PRE-ORDER. SHIPS MAY 5.



Vanessa Rossetto first knocked us out with a trio of CDrs on her own
Perverted Logic label. Her violin/viola improvisations and compositions
saw through drones in the way Tony Conrad conjures multiple waves of
sound just from one instrument. And when accompanied by electronics,
Rossetto uses feedback as a terrifying weapon. Her duo with fellow
Austinite Matthew Armistead (drums, percussion, clarinet) is an
exercise in taut communication. Bright Duplex delights in little
percussion clatters, hiccuping gongs, snares rubbed raw, wild reed
melodies and strings bowed hard against the wood. When the duo reaches
a climactic paramount, the drones thunder from temples like Taj Mahal
Travellers. Pro-printed CDr comes in a mylar sleeve with artwork by
Matthew Armistead printed on heavy cardstock and a vellum wrap-around.
Edition of 100.

Price: $7.00
