***As the title suggests, this collection of works by Birmingham-based musician and contemporary composer Ed Lawes is divided between pieces (scored for or improvised on more traditional instruments) and tracks (more computer-based or electroacoustic works). 14 Tracks / Pieces includes studies for violin, double bass and tenor saxophone, and works for mixed ensemble, among others. The performances, recordings and improvisations are carefully edited and processed, layered and combined, yet Lawes wrings a tremendous depth of emotion from them. Brief references: Ligeti, Stockhausen, Autechre, Anthony Braxton. 30-second MP3 excerpts: Actually Real
