Playful, zig zagging cut-ups from this former director of the Center for Computer Music at Brooklyn College. Creshevsky writes pieces that stay within 20th century avant-classical performance style, but would be physically impossible to perform (putting piano notes too far away from each other, asking singers not to breathe, etc). He uses splicing & overdubbing techniques to paste them into existence, resulting in something like a film edit of a chamber piece. Tracklisting: Rounded With a Sleep, La Sonnambula, Lisa Barnard Redux, What If, Tomomi Adachi Redux II, The Kindness of Strangers, In Memoriam.
