Gramophone
"Javelin is lithe and sleek and very athletic...its bright and breezy countenance more than fulfilling its sporting brief."
Los Angeles Times (on Javelin)
"It's got memorable tunes and spunky post-minimalist animation...It has the ability to lift the spirit time and time again."
Album Description
While still a composition student at Yale, Michael Torke practically defined post-minimalism, a music in which eclectic young composers utilize the repetitive structures of a previous generation to incorporate musical techniques from both the classical tradition and the contemporary pop world.
