"Lee Hyla is more and more becoming known as one of the premiere composers of his generation.
In Double Light
, recorded from 1986 to 1992, is a beautiful collection of his works for small chamber ensembles and features some of the most exciting performers in NY and Boston. In addition to his masterpiece 'In Double Light', is an introspective quartet for flute, viola, cello and piano, the intense second string quartet, and a virtuoso solo piece for bass clarinet, which weaves the songs of birds, both real and imaginary, into a complex tapestry of note clusters, harmonics and impossible leaps."

Catalog #:
AVANT 019
Soldier is a member of the Soldier String Quartet and his group here includes Ben Neill (trumpet), Bob Bannister (guitar), Samm Bennett & James Pugliese (drums), etc.; Soldier plays guitar himself. "Twangy guitars, droning bass and pornographic lyrics. Dedicated to Robert Mapplethorpe and David Wojnarowicz, these strange songs, adapted from homo- and hetero-erotic Latin poetry of the middle ages, create a medieval surf sound that will make you want to hit the beach with a copy of
Catullus
. 'Matarile', the 2nd composition on this quirky CD, evokes 1990s New York the way Stockhausen evoked 1950s Cologne on 'Gesang der Junglinge'. Using children's voices, rappers and city noises, Soldier structures this work like opposing mirrors in a barber shop -- imitation upon imitation upon imitation ad infinitum."

"Oren Bloedow has been a vital member of the John Lurie's Lounge Lizards, and most recently he co-leads the pop group Elysian Fields with Jennifer Charles. This debut CD of his newest project features some of the most exciting young lions to emerge from the Downtown scene in years: John Medeski, Ben Perowsky, Aaron Heck, Don Falzone and Danny Blume. Oren's writing is moody, personal and infectious. This is hip modern instrumental music that fuses jazz, R&B, funk, rock and soundtrack music into new musical statement that you will want to hear time and time again." Limited stock, deleted title.
