Spin Cycle is a three-stage, groundbreaking process curetting a 360-degree conversation with four young Canadian composers, the Afiara Quartet and the renowned scratch DJ, Skratch Bastid. With classical music as a common denominator, the group explores the different types of music that influenced individual upbringings, be it pop, reggae, hip hop, world, or other music. The works are repurposed and re-envisioned by DJ Skratch Bastid. Each composer, hearing what Skratch Bastid has done, "respond" by writing parts for the Afiara to play with (or against) the DJ's remix.

Both 15 for Piano and Form Archimage Rank Among the Relatively Few.

- This disc's dramatic pianism reflects the spacious prairie beauty of the Canadian Northwest. - The music on Piano Northwest ranges from small scale and intimate to large scale and orchestral; from music simple in it's clarity to works dense with complexity, requiring great resources of virtuosity on the part of the performer. - William Pura is a multi-disciplinary composer who has worked in a variety of media, both digital and analogue. - The Edmonton-based pianist Sylvia Shadick-Taylor's highly expressive performances reflect intense explorations of composers' artistic visions.
