Altotronica [CD]

It has been a good while since I heard electronics quite this intriguing. So naturalistic, so alive like in the branches of a tree. Much might be said here about the excellence of the technology employed. In each piece on this album, it constitutes a remarkable asset, while at the same time being wholly integrated with expression. The viola part, for it's share, is seamless, it's presence so closely interwoven with the electronics that the boundary fades away. It contributes gesture, impulse, and energy. Likewise, the entire catalogue of viola techniques serves the purpose of expression. _____Krzysztof Komendarek-Tymendorf
