Zwaanenburg, Jos

20 Odd Years: Music For Flute(s) & Live Electronics

Label: FMR Country: UK

"Dutch flautist Jos Zwaanenburg has been commuting between Holland and Britain since the very beginning of his career as a professional flautist. Over the years he has drawn attention to his use of electronics as an extension to the traditional instrument. He was as fortunate as to work with quite a number of British based composers that share his interest in electronically processed flute sounds.

This CD is a documentation of works that were written for Zwaanenburg during a 20 year time span. They are presented here in chronological order. The short descriptions of each piece firstly outline the software and hardware used to premiere the pieces and secondly the description is of the latterday technology used during these recordings, thus demonstration the enduring nature of works that transcend technological change."-from the liner notes
