"Composer Virgil Moorefield was born in Chapel Hill, NC in 1956 and grew up primarily in Europe. Living in NY since 1975, Moorefield recorded and toured as a drummer with numerous rock bands and avant garde ensembles, including the Swans, Glenn Branca, Bill Laswell, Elliott Sharp, and Damage. The music on this disc is a reflection of his recent interest in microtonality and in creating a music which is looser in structure than his previous works. Alternating between strict notation and passages which may be described by nothing more than a drawing -- Virgil blends minimalism, microtonal tunings and improvisations to create a unique sound world of precision, movement and surprise." Performed on violin, violincello, synthesizer, baritone sax, clarinet, bowed guitar, fretless guitar.
