A collection of works by Birmingham-based musician & contemporary composer Ed Lawes. He divides the works between 'pieces' (generally scored for or impovised on more traditional instruments) and 'tracks' (which can be generalised as more computer-based or 'electroacoustic' works). The pieces include studies for violin, double bass & tenor saxophone and works for mixed ensemble among other things. The performances, recordings and improvisations are carefully edited and processed, layered and combined to form these pieces (and tracks); and yet, Lawes wrings a tremendous depth of emotion from them. Brief references: Ligeti, Stockhausen, Autechre, Anthony Braxton.
