CD
To Listen, To Sing - Ngarra-Burria : First Peoples Composers / performed by Ensemble Offspring.
Library shelf no. CD 3279 [Not for loan]
Work Overview
With direct influences from minimal composers such as Steve Reich, Eric Avery's quartet epitomises the act of gliding through music. All the sonic material is supported by the cello (with Avery's experience as a string player himself) which plays Bach Cello Suite style figures, actively and repetitively crossing the strings while the other 3 musicians are also constantly moving with their semiquaver patterns. Reminiscent of birds soaring in the sky, never stopping, constantly moving, twisting and turning in the air, Gliding is music with total weightlessness.
