Wow, those are breathtaking compositions! Mostly, they belong to the contemporary classical category, with very strong - and quite fascinating - post-minimalist influences. Occasionally, borderlines to other genres are crossed, most notably in "forced march", with its rock-orientated drums and guitar parts.

This is stunning. Everything about it is superb: the composition, the playing, the recording. To hear the violin played with a glass-cutting purity, and to hear the melodies unfurl one not at a time is a sublime experience. This is immaculately crafted music, with a power and control that belies it monophonic delicacy. Easily my top modern classical release of 2018
