Reviews

American Music Center New Music Box

Barry Schrader's electro-acoustic works from the past 15 years are often joyous and always musical, combining unyielding repetition ... and shimmering soundscapes. Schrader's epic “Triptych" makes timbre a more aggressive quality of sound, setting it on an equal plane with the pitch and rhythmic transformations that usually inform his work, shifting the listener's attention smoothly between these three traits.

The New York Times

Barry Schrader can produce sounds that genuinely surprise with their virtuosity and imagination.
by John Rockwell

Los Angeles Times

Schrader's music has fascinatingly subtle shifts of color and volume. The listener could wrap himself in a development of metallic sounds seamlessly transformed from speaker to speaker, a delicate but penetrating pulsation of notes woven with a music-box effect, or a melange of dizzying, sliding, wind rushing patterns that make the revving-up of a jet plane seem demure.

Symphonic music of the next millenium: Classical allusions and timbral explorations. “EAM” is a mesmerising, eclectic and potentially addicitve collection of electro-acoustic compositons.
