Price:
$14.50
Catalog #:
TZ 7056
"Vierk's music explores texture and microtonality in highly structured pieces that build to swirling high energy intensity. Influenced by minimalism, Japanese Gagaku, and Appalachian folk music, Lois Vierk is one of America's great originals. Her first CD for Tzadik is an exciting collection of compositions for string quartet, brass sextet, and a dynamic piece for electric guitar, percussion, cello, and synthesizer. Definitive performances of some of Vierk's greatest works."

Price:

Catalog #:
XI 102CD
"Three of Vierk's works for 'big instruments,' that is, multiples of the same instrument, treated more like single entities than like groups of voices. The three pieces on this CD are for five electric guitars tuned microtonally around 'E,' six trumpets, and eight cellos." The 12-minute "Go Guitars" is a classic work of loud guitar tonality drift, in the tradition of Branca/Rhys/Remko/early-SY, etc. and is largely unknown in this context.
