Music that combines equal measures of beauty and grit. Moody, elusively shaped textural music that is compelling from its very first violin note to its final shimmer of decaying cymbals. This 29-minute CD EP/single is scored for violins, cellos, percussion, and electronic/sampled sounds. “An impressive, beautiful CD single that offers up a seamless, elegant ‘cloud’ of sound.” [Gramophone magazine] “Dense, slowly changing sounds, atmospherically gloomy and harmonically quite subtle.” [The Musical Times (London)] “A Temperament is much darker than its title might suggest—informed, as it is, by the harsher concept of terrifying beauty written of by Rilke in the Duino Elegies... a steely sonic environment.” [NewMusicBox (Amer. Music Center)] “A miniature masterpiece.” [Sands-Zine (Italy)] “It too has a definite…impact on the listener in the way it constructs a slow moving, ever-changing, ever-present musical world…. A Temperament for Angels has a Zen kind of focus on the nature of complex tone clusters that has genuine merit and holds up well after many listens. Nice!” [Gapplegate Classical-Modern Music Review]
