EOS - Patti Cudd
Label: Innova Recordings
Performed by Patti Cudd
Cudd commissioned 16 new compositions for the album and the works span a breathtaking variety of approaches from composers including Cort Lippe, Paul Elwood, Per Bloland, Jeff Herriott, Barry Moon and others. The album also features works by Morton Feldman, Brian Ferneyhough and Christian Wolff — the only ones here without the use of electronics. All the pieces make use of electro-acoustic and interactive techniques, and many use the software Max/MSP, which was designed to offer tools for composers and performers to develop real-time interactive music. The software can track and analyze sound, refracting it and reimagining it as the performer plays.

Music from Stanford <541>, Vol. 3
Label: Innova Recordings
Performed by Inauthentica
It has been said that complex times call for complex music. Here is that music. Tempered by the fact that the New Complexity movement (of Ferneyhough and Carter fame) is now several decades old and life in the pleasant surroundings of Stanford, California, can't be that disturbing. Here, young composition grads apply their fierce minds and scurrying intellects to the problems of chamber music. They present it in a series known simply as 541.
