TZ 7002
''Chris Brown, San Francisco based composer, pianist, and electronic instrument builder, studied composition with William Brooks, electronic music with Gordon Mumma and computer music with David Rosenboom. His music includes pieces for solo instruments with interactive electronics, andimprovisational ensemble works... Lava describes a primordial state of flux, the transmutation of one material into another through a streaming of intensely concentrated energy. 'Lava' is written for brass quartet, four percussionists and 4-channels of electronic sound generated by a computer controlled signal processing system...the electronic sounds are all created by live sampling from the acoustic sounds of the instruments, and there are no synthesizers or previous recordings involved.''
