专辑简介
Jay Cloidt concocts his slyly humorous pieces with what Carl Stone calls "skill, wit, perversity, and adroitness." The composer's spliced-together deconstructions of both classical and pop references, combined with his masterful sampling of everyday sounds, are, as Stone notes, "fabulous and fund to behold."
Cloidt's technically sophisticated music has delighted audiences throughout the US and overseas. London's Musical Times writes that Exploded View is "the stuff of surrealist fantasy: a string quartet playing with the straight-backed elegance of the Viennese tradition but producing the voices of industrial machinery, kitchen appliances, roaring animals and whining babies." And the Los Angeles Times comments that Karoshi is "a hoot...The piece, made of sampled crashes and kabooms and cartoony melodies, knows exactly how to fill five minutes."
The Kronos Quartet begin the CD with the effervescent Kole Kat Krush, which they commissioned and premiered. This frequently programmed piece careens between Stravinsky, Beethoven, Eric Clapton, and Sly Stone, among others. Next is Karoshi (performed by Basso Bongo), followed by the soothing, hypnotic Light Fall.
The CD's major work, Life is Good...And People Are Basically Decent, was commissioned by and has been regularly performed by the Paul Dresher Ensemble to appreciative audiences. The CD concludes with a different performance of the title piece, this time by the Paul Dresher Ensemble.
