This album of contemporary chamber music by the award-winning composer Chris Gendall (a graduate of Victoria Uni, doctoral degree from Cornell, more recently Mozart Fellow at Otago Uni) is firmly for those curious about new music and interesting arts.

These works span 10 years of compositional output, and explore wide expressive terrain: from epic to compact, aggressive to introspective, earthy to mechanical. Their elastic rhythm, harmonic fluidity, and formal spontaneity make for dynamic – and often-demanding – listening and performing experiences. It’s particularly special to hear these works performed with such verve, and mostly by the performers for whom they were written. These players, along with tonmeister Steve Garden, have given this album its sense of focus, sound, character, and quality. (Chris Gendall)
