'11 pieces that investigate instruments and recording techniques.
Scored variously for groups of duochords (2 string monochords played with motorised rubber bands, hurdy-gurdy style), aluminium monochords, played with felt hammers, guitars with tails (all explained in the excellent booklet with pictures and background on all the instruments and techniques), cellos - using extended techniques, spring strings, bottles (blown) and musical bows.
Mostly species of drone, but careful, thoughtful, considered.
3-fold digipack and informative, illustrated booklet.'
