Drew Krause: Powder

摘要

Drew Krause's recent release on the innova label features just under an hour of his music. Mr. Krause (b. 1960) grew up in Rochester, New York, and studied at Tuilliard and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His recent work utilizes computer programs to model mathematical data and musical processes. Three of the compositions on this disc feature solo instrumentalists with electroacoustic rnaccompaniment, and the remaining three are for computer-generated sound. Composed over a period of ten years, the six works exhibit a consistent, unified approach that is anchored in postmodernist irreverence for the modernist accoutrements employed.
