David Chesworth Ensemble
Music to See Through
Double CD $30 inc. postage
Post-classical, post-rock, post-whatever, here the ensemble is joined on two tracks by two unique Australian voices - Robert Forster from the Go-Betweens, the wonderful Lisa Miller.
Utilizing the colours of the ensemble’s keyboards strings, brass, percussion and electronics, David Chesworth has created a series of soundscapes that delve into the synesthesia between sound and image.
Panopticon from Music to See Through was awarded Instrumental Composition of The Year at the 2006 APRA/Australian Music Centre Classical Music Awards. Two other works off this wonderous CD were also nominated Floating World and Wait A While.
'A quiet intensity and a thoughtful concentration pervade each piece, resulting in some quite luminescent moments. An accomplished ensemble at work.'
Ken Hollings -The Wire, London
'Music To See Through reaches many high points. Its a consummate sound world inhabited by data flow, electronic twitterings and distant rumblings, overlaid with a delicate vibraphone reverie.'
Keith Gallasch - Realtime Sydney
