Synopsis

Album Description

For the past 25 years, Polansky has been composing a series of fascinating mensuration canons (a formal concept dating back to the Renaissance) that run the sonic gamut from wildly boisterous to serenely introverted. This disc collects thriteen of these canons (one of which is found here in three different realizations). The varied instrumentation includes marimbas, gamelan, electric guitars, children's voices, computer, choir, and chamber ensemble. Performances by and collaborations with William Winant, Jody Diamond, Daniel Goode, the York Vocal Index, Ray Guillette, Nathan Davis, Nick Didkovsky, and others.

CD Reviews

Mostly great

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This wonderful CD consists entirely of mensuration canons. "Each successively entering voice moves proportionally faster than the previous one, causing each canon's density and rhythmic complexity to increase from beginning to end." There are only a few tracks that I just don't grab me, otherwise this gets a five star rating. Particularly good is Guitar Canon, performed by Polansky on his fretless guitar, and the amazingly cute Anna Canon, based on samples of his third year old daughter's voice. CD features: William Winant, Jody Diamond, Daniel Goode, Nick Didkovsky..."
