Dither - Dynamics of Vanishing Bodies - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Composer/guitarist Brendon Randall-Myers, in collaboration with electric guitar quartet Dither, releases Inchdynamics of vanishing bodies,Inch a 37-minute piece deploying a full gamut of techniques. Several alternate tunings, retuned during the work, a battery of effects and looping devices, and feedback all figure prominently in this powerful and deeply personal work. Brendon Randall-Myers is a Brooklyn-based composer and guitarist with an affinity for complex, cathartic, endurance-based music at various intersections of rock, experimental, theater, and classical. Described as Inchfiercely aggressive but endlessly compellingInch (The San Francisco Chronicle), Inchintricate and dynamicInch (I Care If You Listen), Inchmassive in it's impactInch (Sarasota Herald-Tribune), and Inchan exhilarating blast of energyInch (Chicago Classical Review), his music aims to induce trance/flow states via repetition and amplification, inspired by experiences on 20-mile runs and performing in punk and metal bands. Brendon has written for classical musicians - pianists (Miki Sawada), string quartets (Friction Quartet), chamber ensembles (Exceptet), and orchestras (Chicago Symphony, Omaha Symphony) - as well for cross-genre/experimental groups like Bang on a Can, Dither, and Bearthoven. His work has received support from the Jerome Foundation, New Music USA, New York State Council for the Arts, the Guitar Foundation of America, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, and ASCAP.
