Lei Liang: Verge - Tremors of a Memory Chord - CD

ENGLISH

<p>Chinese-born American Lei Liang's intercontinentally inspired work has been described as &lsquo;hauntingly beautiful' (<i>The New York Times</i>) and &lsquo;brilliantly original and inarguably gorgeous' (<i>The Washington</i> <i>Post</i>). <i>Verge </i>is a musical amulet for Liang's new-born son Albert, while <i>Aural Hypothesis </i>explores how calligraphic lines can find expression in sound. Both <i>Five Seasons </i>and <i>Tremors of a Memory Chord</i> bring together Chinese and Western instruments to create fascinating sonorities, from an evocative single pipa to the unique richness of a grand Chinese orchestra.</p>
