Anakronos - The Red Book Of Ossory - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Andrew Lawrence-King and the Harp Consort are quickly becoming today's leading performers of traditional European music. Their debut album, Spanish Dances, was a huge success, setting the stage for this dynamic ensemble to present the works of Carolan (a.k.a. Toirhealbhach O'Cearbhallain, regarded as the champion of Irish traditional music) in a completely unique and unprecedented way.

CHOROCHRONOS is a collection of four gorgeous experimental works for clarinet, percussion and electronics. Red Desert Ensemble (Katie Porter and Devin Maxwell) lovingly recorded duos they've performed for almost two decades in small spaces, for even smaller audiences all over the US (and Canada) by André Cormier, Lucie Vítková and Michael Pisaro alongside a huge new spectral work for clarinet and electronics by Maxwell. The result is exceptional, a document of music trapped in ether or volcanic rock, both unearthed stillness and totally jarring, a perfect music-as-art for our time. With cover artwork by Christine Heindl, liner notes by Adam Tinkle, design by Phillip Niemeyer and video art by Svavar Jónatansson, the album is released on vinyl by the NYC tag Infrequent Seams.1.
