Review

OK, get this. These are recordings Dempster made in a giant cistern--an empty, two-million-gallon water tank--at Fort Worden, near Port Townsend in Washington state. The pieces take various instruments--conch, trombone, didgeridoo, Tibetan cymbals--and place them in this strange environment, where the music evolves around single notes that are allowed to rise or fall, fade or arise however. It's a fantastic exercise in pitch studies and abstract sonics, and, strangely, it works. Reminiscent of Terry Riley's recent work with the Rova Saxophone Quintet, this is for only the bravest listener. --Paul Cook
