Descriptions, Reviews, &c.
With this project, Iyer and Ladd have inspired each other to reach far beyond what either has done previously. Taken together, their influences cover the entire spectrum of modern music, and it shows. The mesmerizing sonic miniatures range from the ominous funk of ÒSecurityÓ to the luminous jazz orchestration of ÒTaking Back the Airplane,Ó from the rugged electronic programming of ÒTLCÓ to the noble cello-and-piano hymn of ÒPlastic Bag,Ó from the swirling improvisational grooves of the ÒColor of my CircumferenceÓ cycle to the mournfully programmatic composition ÒAsylum.Ó
