"
Decasia
is a large-scale single movement relentlessly monumental work about decay -- the decay of melody, the decay of tuning, the decay of classical music itself. Following the atmospheric ambiance of his recent string orchestra piece
Weather
(Nonesuch) Michael Gordon's new work retunes a giant amplified orchestra to resemble a piano fallen from a great height, with gripping strings, four detuned pianos, and massive winds and brass. The sound is Mahlerian and huge -- stratospheric harmonies decay into another, giant blocks of sounds shift and fall -- like an earthquake giving off a tremendous energy."
