About This Item
Composer, violinist, and NYC impresario David Handler composes acoustic and electronic music that has been described by the New York Times as Incheerie and superbly wrought... exploring polarities of light and dark, the sacred and the profane.Inch This attraction to juxtaposition is also evident in Handler's role as co-founder of (Le) Poisson Rouge (LPR), the boundary-breaking downtown New York venue that has opened doors for his fellow performers and connected audiences with unheard music since 2008.Life Like Violence explores the everyday tumult of the mind fear, whim, rage, pain, fancy. As Handler puts it Inchthis is the sound of my psyche.Inch It's music that attacks itself, eating itself from the inside out. Ideas invade and gnaw at each other. They undermine, taunt, assault, exalt, and tease. Physical gestures disrupt long narratives whose melodies are obscured, revealed, decayed, destroyed, and mourned. What emerges is a broken beauty of spirit that has endured. Album Tracks 1. Ever After 2. Solstice 3. Lullaby for Piano & Electronics 4. Life Like Violence Circa 2003, or Untitled Caprice 5.
