Digital Booklet
|
Composer and Peabody Conservatory of Music faculty member David Smooke is a sonic tour guide leading a polystylistic and expressive journey that explores, in his own words, "alien topographies" and "unreal landscapes." Smooke employs a wide range of methods to paint his sound world, including microtonality, a deft timbral and orchestrational brush stroke and extended performance techniques. This release features his works across the instrumental spectrum, from the title piece, a toy piano concerto with wind ensemble, to the multitrack composition of layered bassoons, 21 Miles to Coolville.
