Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Seven pieces for solo bass. Sounds unappetising? Well. This may be what it is, but it isn't always what it sounds like: to bass, add a lot of pedals and extended techniques, add sound on sound and a mastery of harmonics; to solos add versions of rock classics (Manic Depression - I Want You and As you said) as well as more abstract compositions and electoacoustics. Best known as a Bang on a Can composer, Jack played a lot of rock music in his life. Identity crisis? Postmodern condition? At least he's turning it into art. " - ReR Megacorp
