NATURAL SCIENCE (by Christopher Fox)
TRIO SCORDATURA Alfrun Schmid, vocal/violin; Elisabeth Smalt, viola; Bob Gilmore, vocal/keyboards; with Scott Mc Laughlin, electric guitar
These works demonstrate yet another peak in the creativity of Christopher Fox; disarmingly simple, they demonstrate his uncanny ability to create music from the most unlikely inspirations such as the superb poetry of Ian Duhig; travels through a cityscape, or the calculations of planetary orbits; also these pieces make use of tunings other than the 'normal' equal temperament we are familar with thus creating an other-worldly (yet firmly rooted in daily life) soundstage.
