notes

“Byron’s music dances with tremulous iridescence.”—Julian Cowley, "The Wire"
“Byron creates maximalist effect out of minimalist means.”—"ClassicalNet"
“String Noise…New York’s most daring violin duo.”—"TimeOut New York"

"Fabric for String Noise" is a wildly virtuosic two-movement work that is unlike just about anything else ever written
for two violins. It’s a relentless river of complex polyphony and polyrhythms, wherein intense, continuous activity shares space with an overarching sense of motionlessness. Closing the album is "Dragon Rite," a rich, slowly unfolding texture for four double basses.

This CD shows Byron’s fascination with uniting seemingly at-odds minimalist and maximalist techniques and soundworlds of immersive beauty with those of wild abandon.
