CHASALOW, ERIC - LEFT TO HIS OWN DEVICES (CD)
"The seven electro-acoustic works on this disc illustrate the salient virtues that have distinguished Eric Chasalow's work in the genre over the past twenty years -- an unerring sense of drama and a rhythmic verve that makes for compelling listening. Two in particular, 'Left to His Own Devices' and 'Suspicious Motives', pay homage to his Columbia-Princeton mentors; the former is built from vocal samples of Milton Babbitt and the sound of the RCA synthesizer while the latter incorporates two motives from Davidovsky's music--primarily the opening to 'Synchronisms #6' " (label info)
