Program Notes
Extracted from Alternative Energy, an ‘energy symphony’ that travels through centuries and continents, “Chicago, 2012” pays homage to the legendary particle accelerator at FermiLab near Chicago. The swirling, industrial sounds were recorded at the facility and are vividly integrated into a brash and jazzy soundworld.
