Adams, John Luther - Four Thousand Holes
SKU
05-CB 035
"Four Thousand Holes is a sometimes lush, sometimes fragile, rhythmically complex and technically demanding work for piano and mallet percussion (performed by the extraordinary pianist Stephen Drury and percussionist Scott Deal) and ghostly electronic 'auras'--electronic sounds created by processing the acoustic instruments' sonorities. Unlike Adams's other works, the pitch material used in Four Thousand Holes is drawn exclusively from Western music's most basic elements: major and minor triads. In this case they are superimposed upon one another in multiple tempo streams, creating a beautiful yet continuously fracturing sound world--from splintering glass shards to nearly seismic disturbances. The other work on this CD, '...and bells remembered...,'performed by the Callithumpian Consort, is a more introspective piece."
