"Three
Compositions" presents a cross-section of composer
Kenneth
Kirschner's highly diverse output. The collection includes
"July 17,
2006", a spare study in simple harmony and silence;
"April 27, 2004",
an ever-shifting, rhythmic juxtaposition of acoustic percussion
and
digital sound; and the nearly 40-minute "May 3, 1997"
for microtonal
piano, percussion, and noise, one of Kirschner's signature
pieces.
For those new to his music, "Three Compositions"
offers an ideal
introduction to Kirschner's large body of work, while those
already
familiar with it will appreciate the opportunity to hear
these
recordings in the highest sound quality yet available.
Composer Kenneth Kirschner was born in 1970 and lives in
New York
City. An advocate of open source audio, Kirschner releases
his music
freely online and encourages other musicians to sample,
appropriate
and interpret it. His work has been released on CDs from
labels such
as 12k, Sub Rosa, Sirr, and/OAR and Leerraum, as well as
online
through a wide variety of netlabels and other sources.
