Editorial Reviews
The Wire
Chas Smith composes and performs epic soundscapes...music that reflects the wide-open spaces of the American West.
Francois Couture,
Its beauties are immediately palpable, yet they don't fade with repeated listens...Beautiful.
Album Description
Chas Smith--composer, inventor, instrument builder, and performer--has created his own musical world, complete with its own instruments and "language." It is a world of carefully sculpted textures that never sit absolutely still, textures that evolve and are always in the process of a slow change of aural perspective. Critics have repeatedly compared Smith's sometimes beautiful, sometimes brooding compositions to those of Ligeti. The three pieces on this new recording feature the composer performing on pedal steel guitars, composer-designed-and-built crotales and sound sculptures, zithers, and a 1948 Bigsby lap guitar.
