This CD marks the premiere full length album by
just-intonation composer and instrument builder KRAIG
GRADY outside of his documentation of the music of
Anaphoria Island. It is also the first recording of
his music which does not rely on his great skills as a
performer or the instruments of his own design or
modification. Instead, in this 55 minute composition
Grady has chosen 6 of his favorite instrumentalists
and vocalists from a wide variety of backgrounds, each
because of some unique quality that he finds in their
musicality. Grady calls upon these players to perform
pitches with extreme accuracy, but also to use the
wide range of timbres possible on their instruments or
voices. This extremely meditative yet somewhat intense
composition explores a tuning called Meta-Meantone -
this tuning has the characteristics of exploiting a
variety of acoustical phenomenon ranging from equal
beating chords to the reinforcement of difference tone
phenomenon. This is an entirely acoustic recording
with no processing effects of any kind. Originally
designed for his own personal use, Grady considers
this one of his finest compositions, performed
exceptionally well, persuading him to release this for
the enjoyment of others.

Cool!

I'd be interested to know your strategies for working with instruments
like the bassoon and sax to get the pitches you wanted.

-Chris Bryan

a Peterson tuner,
like some of Niblock early works ( ones that i think only exist on record), by recording one note at a time.
But the players were asked to push their timbres as much as possible while staying on the notes as far as they could vary it at times. So it adds to the aforementioned the strictness of Young with the timbre and dynamic variation of say Scelsi , the beating qualities of Wilson's Meta- Meantone, but breaks it all down into sometimes even a solo single instrument which was determined by nothing more than personal taste. It is more a work of synthesis but feel it is not redundant since the result does not sound anything like the influences that seemed to be unavoidable. i say all this in hindsight. Hopefully it carries the ball at least a few more yards in this regard. I have no plans to produce any other work like it.
