Artist:	FAR CORNER
Title:	Far Corner
Label:	CUNEIFORM
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	RUNE 194CD

"An exciting and auspicious debut release by a chamber rock quartet from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Far Corner play carefully honed compositions, composed in a style that reflects influences from 20th century composers, such as Stravinsky and Bartok combined with classical/chamber rock greats like Univers Zero , early ELP, Present and more. In addition to their compositions, Far Corner also perform purely improvised music as well. Their music maintains the energy level and power of rock, but in a very sophisticated way. Their music is mysterious, sometimes dark, and always intriguing. Far Corner uses a relatively small palette of instrumental colors to achieve a big sound: Grand piano and Hammond organ, cello (played both 'classically' and with amplification and fuzzboxes to give it a metal, rock edge), electric bass and drums."

"Far Corner was formed in the Spring of 2003. This quartet of keyboards, cello, bass, and drums blends contemporary classical chamber music with rock. One can hear influences from Stravinsky and Bartok and other contemporary classical giants, as well as from some of the great progressive rock bands of the 1970s. On their second album, Far Corner combine and contrast group improvisation with completely scored works, composed in a contemporary, post-Bartokian style."
