About This Item
Patrick Higgins' new album TOCSIN is full of thrilling opposites. It is a masterclass of visceral genre-bending sounds that are physical and delicate at the same time. Over the course of three large compositions, the listener is brought on a journey of constant surprise, as when the sound of violins dissolves into a halo of pure noise, more at home in an underground electronics show than anything that appears on a concert stage. The performers include the Wet Ink Ensemble, hailed as the InchBest Classical Ensemble of 2018Inch; acclaimed pianist Vicky Chow, Inchone of our era's most brilliant pianists,Inch; and the Mivos Quartet, Inchone of America's most daring and ferocious new-music ensembles.1.
