Album Notes & Community Reviews
Operating at the bleeding edge of the twentieth-century avant-garde, 'Acustica' is a staggering exploration of indeterminate sound generation and electroacoustic manipulation. The composer directed the ensemble to utilize custom-built, unconventional sound sources, creating a highly abstract, often chaotic auditory landscape. It remains a deeply challenging and historically significant pillar of post-war European art music.
