Search - Amy Knoles :: Men In The Cities

This CD contains a selection of original compositions by Amy Knoles. Alan Rich describes her artistry: "listen in awe as, standing stock still, she flails the air on something called the K.A.T. Midi Mallet and the space around her bursts into audible flame with percussion sounds of staggering richness. A one-finger poke onto a nearby keyboard: more amazement, more sound." In the liner notes, Alan Rich describes her compositions: "Most of what you'll hear - perhaps recoil from, but definitely marvel at - on this captivating, irritating, totally off-the-wall all-too-brief glimpse of Amy Knoles at work is actually the audible side of collaborations and not merely accompaniment to, say, the childhood memories of performance artist Rachel Rosenthal (in "Timepiece"); not merely background music for viewing Robert Longo's art ("Men in the City"), but a sampling of music tightly wound around its external source."
