Editorial Reviews
International Record Review
Larry Polansky's music is as much fun to listen to as it is to think or get serious about.
The Wire
Polansky's cool and elegant set of canons...show the extreme liberties that can be born from such exacting discipline.
Album Description
For the past 25 years, Polansky has been composing a series of fascinating mensuration canons (a formal concept dating back to the Renaissance) that run the sonic gamut from wildly boisterous to serenely introverted. This disc collects thriteen of these canons (one of which is found here in three different realizations). The varied instrumentation includes marimbas, gamelan, electric guitars, children's voices, computer, choir, and chamber ensemble. Performances by and collaborations with William Winant, Jody Diamond, Daniel Goode, the York Vocal Index, Ray Guillette, Nathan Davis, Nick Didkovsky, and others.
